Premium artisanal organic cider, IGP Bretagne (75 cl)

brittany organic ciderArtisan: Cidrerie artisanale du Léguer.

Cidrerie du Léguer runs an organic apple farm where chemicals are banned from the orchard. In fact, human involvement is limited to mowing the grass and pruning the trees. Pests and disease are managed by biocontrol, boosting their natural enemies. And these wholesome apples produce an all-natural cider that’s out of this world.

This organic cider is a blend of 15 sweet, sweet-tart and tart apple varieties, much like many wines are a blend of different grape varieties. Striking a subtle balance between the characteristics of different apples is the secret to making a truly outstanding cider. This premium cuvée was created for connoisseurs and gourmands who can appreciate the delicate nuances of a great cider. But even amateurs will enjoy its fruity, not-too-sweet freshness and long, intense finish.

 
Artisanal Chouchen vinegar (37.5 cl)

chouchen vinegar brittany gourmet gift boxArtisan: Chouchen d'Armor, Apiculteur Patrick Gouedard.

The Breton mead known as Chouchen is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey in apple juice or cider. In ten days, the same yeast strains used to make the famous Sauternes wine turn honey into alcohol. The mead is then aged on its lees in barrels for 12 to 18 months, letting its delicious flavours and aromas mature over time. Made using traditional methods, this Chouchen vinegar is perfect for adding a splash of originality to your salad dressings, glazing your duck magrets or giving your fish dishes a delicate hint of sweetness.

Artisanal pork rillettes with Breton algae (90 g)

breton spread brittany gourmet foodArtisan: Ferme agricole de la Grande Lande.

Jean-Noël raises his hogs in the picturesque town of Plélo, far from industrial food factories. The three pillars of his business are respecting the environment, ensuring the welfare of his animals and feeding them a healthy, diversified diet (linseed, a natural source of Omega-3, wheat grown on Jean-Noël’s farm, etc.), and the wisdom of this philosophy is apparent in the inimitable flavour of his pork. You’ll see for yourself when you try this artisanal gourmet spread, mixed with algae from the rugged Breton coast to give it a truly elegant taste and creamy texture. An amazing discovery!

Located in Guingamp, in the heart of the Côtes d’Armor region, the artisanal family-run cannery Crust’Armor turns local ingredients into delicious seafood spreads.

Made from Breton scallops, these light rillettes are packed with chunks and flavour: sweet crème fraîche and herbal aromas really bring out the superb taste of fresh scallops. We can’t get enough of these rillettes!

 
Brittany’s famous buckwheat crêpe with sweet sausage and whole-grain mustard (jar)

crepes from brittany la gourmet boxArtisan: Conserverie bretonne TyBocal.

Obviously, you can’t visit Brittany without trying one of its signature crêpes! We thought finding one with foodie-worthy flavour that travelled well would be next to impossible... fortunately, we were wrong. Mary Jeanney has achieved the unthinkable: preserving a superb crêpe in a jar, made entirely from local, seasonal ingredients and prepared the old-fashioned way. We chose the great Breton classic, the galette-saucisse or sausage crêpe (sometimes called the Breton hot dog). Open the jar, heat 1 minute in the microwave and sit down to savour a delicious piece of pure Brittany!

 
Smooth and crunchy Breton caramels with salted butter and organic buckwheat seeds (loose in box)

breton caramels gastronomy of brittanyArtisan: Caramélier et Confiseur breton L'Ambr'1.

These salted-butter caramels were made from the finest local products by true artisans who started out in their garage, just like us. Texture, flavour... sheer delight! The addition of organic buckwheat seeds to the salted-butter caramel mix creates a crunchy-smooth contrast that makes these sweet morsels unique.

But be warned: they’re highly addictive! Serving suggestions: on Breton biscuits, crêpes, brioche...

 
Craquantin Breton, crunchy biscuits with salted-butter caramel and hazelnut slivers (100 g)

breton gourmet food productsArtisan: Biscuiterie de Bretagne.

Frédéric Adam, founder of the Biscuiterie de Bretagne, managed to come up with a delicious recipe for crisp biscuits made of flour, sugar and egg white but no yolk—an amazing fat-free delicacy in the land of butter and Kouign-amann. And so the Craquantin Breton was born. Some years later, he added salted-butter caramel to the mix, and it quickly became an icon among Breton biscuits.

With the bonus of hazelnut slivers, these little temptations are sure to delight all sweet-toothed gourmands.
