Madame Goudig - Salted Butter Caramels
While the recipe is a closely guarded secret, the magic ingredient is not: it is the clean salty waters off Brittany’s coastline that give these caramels their distinctive taste. Madame Goudig salted caramels are made using Breton butter and Brittany’s famous fleur de sel.
Les Confitures A L’Ancienne - Hot Chocolate Powder
Only the finest cocoa beans are used to create this traditional powdered chocolate, selected from renowned provenances and carefully roasted to bring out the rich natural aroma of the tropics. Powerfully flavourful, the richness of its body yields undertones of fruitiness, which blend with Bourbon vanilla for a subtle and smooth finish.
Le Saunier de Camargue - Fleur de Sel
A real treasure offered by Camargue salt farmers, Fleur de Sel is the seasoning par excellence to enhance all sorts of dishes from the simplest to the most refined. These unique, fine, hand-harvested sea salt crystals add crunch and a lingering taste that brings out a range of subtle flavours.
Clément Faugier - Chestnut Spread
This delicious puree can be used alone as a dessert, enjoyed with cookies or Mille-feuille baking, used as a sweet topping for yogurt or spread on toast, a croissant or fresh brioche.
Palais des Thés - Fine Teas
Le Palais des Thes combines the allure of the Orient with the panaches of the French tea culture. Enjoyed hot or cold, these fragrant teas are far more than a beverage - they are perfume in a cup, a journey for all the senses.
Alain Milliat - Confitures (Apricot Bergeron & Wild Blueberry)
Alain Milliat has created a collection of artisanal juices, nectars and jams with fresh produce from the finest fruit growers in France. Production is a patient art: farmers wait until the fruit is fully matured and naturally sweetened before harvesting and the result is a sensory experience of luscious, perfectly ripe fruit.
Chabert & Guillot - Nougat
These individually wrapped pieces of nougat are made from the finest, all natural ingredients. Founded in 1848, this brand has been run by the Chabert family in the city of Montelimar, in southeastern France.
Try The World is a unique subscription box that offers a wonderful selection of foods from around the world. I thought The Paris Box was an interesting variety of treats. I didn’t do a breakdown of cost, as it would be too difficult. If you're interested in trying different foods from around the world, I think this box would be a great experience!
