The Finistère-Brittany Gourmet Box

The western French region of Finistère is, as its name indicates, the "end of the world", the prow of Europe jutting proudly into the waves of the Atlantic. A land of myths, rugged cliffs and picturesque villages, this place is filled with alluring mysteries and treasures waiting to be discovered. Though best known for its crêpes and sweet ciders, Finistère boasts many other culinary gems. With this GOURMET BOX, you'll set out on a thrilling voyage of maritime flavours with inky black tagliatellines, a persillade of limpets and razor clams, scallop rillettes in rock samphire, algae-flavoured mini toasts, surprisingly aromatic marine herbs, and vintage sardines in organic olive oil. You'll also be able to savour some of the region's sweetest delicacies, such as Breton galettes and palets made with premium barrel-churned butter, caramel cream and Crozon cider.

The Finistère-Brittany Gourmet Box

Finisterrae semi-sec artisanal cider, 2015 (75 cl)

Cidre FinisterraeProducer: Cidrerie artisanale de Rozavern.

Located in Telgruc-sur-Mer, in the heart of the Crozon peninsula, the Rozavern cider house is a family business that cultivates organic apple orchards with passion and expertise. The apples grown by these Breton producers have the fresh perfume of a bracing sea breeze, and Rozavern uses a time-honoured method to turn them into cider. The natural pressing process creates a small yeast deposit, so it's best not to shake the bottles too much and keep them upright. Finisterrae cider is characterized by its sweet bitterness, a subtle blend of the wild coast and placid hills. Brilliant and elegant, this cider goes with any meal and is ideal paired with cheese.

Seaweed is the star product at this cannery. Algae are collected by hand in Roscoff at high tide, washed in sea water, painstakingly selected and naturally dried and cut. This green sea lettuce, finely minced to sprinkle over food, has a fresh, full-bodied flavour reminiscent of sorrel.

Vintage sardines in organic olive oil (115 g)

Sardines millésimées CourtinProducer: Conserverie Courtin.

Founded over a century ago in 1893, Courtin is the oldest cannery in Concarneau. This family-run business owes its longevity to excellent recipes inspired by tradition and the bounty of the sea. These artisanal sardines are delightfully succulent seafood morsels packed in extra virgin olive oil. Bretons usually eat these sardines cold in the oil from the tin, but if you accompany them with a piece of toast and a sprinkle of lemon juice, they'll leave you speechless! Gourmands say that this tinned oily fish, like great wine, only gets better with age.

 
Caramel and dark chocolate chip Breton palets (40 g)
