Medjool Dates 2 Ways Kit

Tasting Notes of the Curator

Each Medjool date in this bundle is plump and yielding, with rich, honeyed depth and the gentle chew of slow sun-ripening. These aren’t just fruits—they’re culinary vessels for contrast and indulgence.

On one side: the Les 5 Frères Camembert, a farmhouse wheel from Normandy with rustic charm and refined character. The rind is soft and edible, the center creamy and expressive. When paired with the date’s sweetness, it becomes a decadent bite of earth and elegance.

On the other: Échiré Demi-Sel Butter, France’s legendary butter, churned slowly and seasoned with just enough salt to awaken the palate. Spread into a Medjool date, it melts into a rich, caramelized whisper—creating a dessert-like experience with the soul of a croissant.

These two expressions—the savory and the sweet—highlight the date’s ability to adapt and enchant. Whether it’s for a midday treat, a composed cheese course, or a quiet after-dinner indulgence, every bite is indulgently intentional.

Quick & Easy Fix

Here’s how to enjoy Medjool Dates Two Ways:

With Camembert:

• Gently open the date and remove the pit.
• Nestle a spoonful or wedge of Camembert into the center.
• Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
• Optional: Freshly cracked pepper/ ground pepper to finish

With Échiré Demi-Sel Butter:

• Chill the dates briefly for clean handling. Gently open the date and remove the pit.
• Take a small portion of Échiré Demi-Sel, enough to fit the inside of date
• Optional: Finish with sea salt flakes.

Pair with dry Champagne, light oolong tea, or Sauternes for full contrast.

The Salt of the Earth, the Sweet of the Sun

This bundle is a meeting point of landscapes—sun-drenched groves and Normandy pastures, combined through simplicity and care. The salt in the butter brings out the date’s natural sugar. The richness of Camembert grounds the fruit’s floral high notes. These are not just snacks; they are tiny compositions of flavor, texture, and story. One bite is rustic, the next refined—and both unforgettable.
