The art of the gourmet calendar by Comtesse du Barry
Combining tradition and gastronomy
Comtesse du Barry gourmet Advent calendars both embody the very essence of festive French gastronomy. Each box contains a carefully selected culinary treasure, reflecting more than a century of artisan know-how.
The company, founded in 1908 in the Gers region of France, has perpetuated ancestral recipes while reinventing them with finesse. The products chosen for this boxed set evoke the emblematic flavours of the South-West: smooth foie gras, delicate terrines and tasty confits.
This calendar goes beyond simple tasting, offering a real immersion in the French art of living. It transforms the anticipation of Christmas into a gourmet ritual, combining the pleasure of the taste buds with the richness of France's gastronomic heritage.
Two versions to suit all taste buds
The savoury calendar: a feast of terrines and foie gras
Our savoury advent calendar offers a refined selection of gastronomic specialities.
Each box reveals a culinary treasure: delicate terrines, creamy rillettes and exceptional foie gras. Among the delights to be discovered: duck terrine with green pepper, pork rillettes with Espelette chilli and Bayonne ham, and Bloc de foie gras de canard du Sud-Ouest.
These dishes are the perfect accompaniment to home-made chutneys, creating unique flavour combinations. The calendar also features innovative recipes, such as guinea fowl terrine with apples and Calvados, combining tradition with culinary creativity. It's a taste experience that's sure to delight fans of French gastronomy.
The sweet option: Christmas sweets and spices
The sweet section of the Comtesse du Barry 2024 calendar delights the taste buds with a refined selection of artisanal sweets.
Each box reveals a unique creation: Caramel from Bretagne, hazelnut or caramel chocolate truffles, Calissons from Aix-en-Provence flavoured with spices or cocoa, and fruit jellies with orchard flavours.
Those with a sweet tooth will love the spicy notes of the cinnamon shortbread. This gourmet box also includes gourmet innovations such as salted butter caramel sweets.
A culinary journey through 24 gourmet boxes
Selection of delicatessen products
The Comtesse du Barry 2024 calendar is packed with carefully selected artisanal specialities. Among the gourmet nuggets are a country terrine with grapes and a hint of Cognac, an onion confit with Sauternes ideal with foie gras, and a fig chutney flavoured with juniper berry.
These refined dishes go wonderfully well with a selection of wines from the South-West, such as a sweet Jurançon or a full-bodied Madiran.
Perfect harmony of flavours and textures
The marriage of food and wine sublimates every mouthful of the calendar. Duck terrine with green peppercorns blossoms with a full-bodied red Côtes-du-Rhône, while foie gras harmonises with a mellow Tariquet. Duck rillettes find their ideal partner in a fresh, mineral Chablis. And don't forget the daring pairings: country terrine and amber craft beer, cream of foie gras and peated whisky, and onion confit and sweet sake.
These combinations awaken the taste buds and create a festival of textures on the palate, transforming every tasting experience into a memorable moment of pleasure.
