Tasting Notes of the Curator
Fresh crumpets toast to golden at the edges and remain tender inside—little pockets that catch the Échiré butter as it melts in. The butter is demi-sel: lightly salted, cultured, and famed for its depth and silkiness. It’s the kind of butter you eat with intent.
Confiture Parisienne’s Fig & Sweet Spices is not your average jam. Made in copper cauldrons in Paris, it weaves together ripe fig with cinnamon, clove, and a whisper of star anise. It’s gently spiced, never overwhelming—think fig tart filling, elevated.
