Gourmet Larder Box

Tasting Notes of the Curator

The Gourmet Larder Box is a tapestry of flavors, textures, and aromas, hand-selected for their quality and versatility. Faustino Brut Reserve opens the experience with its bright effervescence, offering notes of green apple, lemon zest, and a hint of brioche. Maison Dubernet Onion Confit adds a sweet, caramelized depth with a subtle tang, pairing beautifully with savory and sweet dishes alike. Albert Ménès Garlic Croutons bring bold, aromatic crunch, while the Organic Aubergine Caviar with Lemon and Spicesdelivers a creamy base with warm, earthy spice. Dubernet’s Pâté combines gamey richness with a smooth finish, while the Duck Rillettes showcase luxurious, slow-cooked flavors with silky texture. La Malva Rosa’s Pesto Genovese is an ode to Italy, bursting with fresh basil and DOP-certified authenticity, while their Tajarin All’uovo Pasta is tender, golden, and perfect for absorbing the pesto’s vibrant flavors. Albert Ménès Eucalyptus Honey is floral and slightly mentholated, a unique addition to both sweet and savory creations. Angelina Mont Blanc Tea exudes a warming chestnut and vanilla profile, while Confiture Parisienne Raspberry and Violet Jam adds a festive floral-fruity flourish to this exceptional box.
