Cooking together: a very special gift

There is something for everyone in this delicatessen gift box. Typical French products for young and old, or for a romantic dinner for two, where you can dream of the lavender fields of Provence while cooking together.

For example, start the evening cooking together with a typical French tradition: the aperitif. In the large gourmet box you will find an olive tapenade , made in the northern Vaucluse, as well as a wonderfully aromatic veal terrine with black winter truffle. Together with toasted bread and the round dry white wine "L'Espuol" 2019 (organic & AOP Ventoux), which smells of white peaches and candied chestnuts, you will send your palate on a journey to the South of France.

How about an eggplant cake for the main course? You can use the vegan eggplant caviar made from sun-ripened eggplants and aromatic black olives. This typically French product is wonderfully rounded off with the elegant and dry red wine "Reflets de l'ame" 2018 (AOP Vacqueras). This also goes well with the perfect French cheese platter , which you can serve with the tart-sweet olive confit made from black AOP Nyons olives with candied orange at your Provençal cooking evening together.

For dessert (or in between meals for big and small sweet tooths), the large delicatessen gourmet box has two classic delicacies from France ready for you. Firstly, Calisson , the exclusive confiserie made from almonds, candied fruit and mandarin liqueur from the South of France, and secondly, soft white nougat with crunchy almonds and lavender honey. Is your mouth already watering?

You have the option to select the gift option for all products in the shop. We will package your order in high-quality tissue paper and handwrite your personal message on a beautiful card. This guarantees that it will be a special gift.
