Christmas Gift Box – The 13 Desserts

Christmas Gift Box, 13 Desserts: Forget gifts that are unwrapped in polite silence. This is a box that sparks “oohs” and “aahs” before the lid is even lifted. And no wonder: it’s illustrated by Eric Garance, master of colour and Provençal winks. His joyful palette, inspired by the landscapes of the South, turns this case into a true artist’s poster. You keep it, you collect it, you display it proudly… and it tells, in its own way, the story of our land and our delicacies.

Inside? A festival of flavours paying homage to the tradition of the 13 Christmas desserts:

• 1 bar of orange fruit jelly
• 1 bar of blackcurrant fruit jelly
• 1 jar (120 g) of fig & gingerbread jam
• 1 box of 4 calissons
• 1 mendiant chocolate bar
• An assortment of candied fruits (clementine, citron, melon, angelica, lemon peel)
• 1 bag of crisp almond tuiles
• 1 bag of tender nougats

Each treat is crafted with care: precise gestures, ingredients chosen as one would select a fine vintage, and that little extra soul that turns a bite into a memory. The candied fruits capture the southern light, the calissons melt with elegance, the nougats play the tender card… and the fig & gingerbread jam might just steal the spotlight from the cheese board — especially alongside foie gras!

Did you know? The 13 desserts symbolise Jesus and his 12 apostles. Traditionally, they include dried figs, almonds, walnuts or hazelnuts, raisins, white nougat, black nougat, pompe à l’huile, dates, quince paste, calissons, candied fruits, oranges or mandarins, and winter melon. With us, this tradition is reinvented each year, with a dash of daring and a generous helping of indulgence.

To give… or to keep greedily for yourself (no judgement here), this box is more than a gift: it’s a one‑way ticket to Provence. You wander through it like a sunny market, you nibble as if in the shade of an olive tree, and you always end up going back for more… just to “confirm” it’s as good as you remember. Spoiler: it is!
