After a visit to the Castle of Saint-Germain0en Laye, just outside of Paris, I went with my hosts Julie and Jeremy to gather supplies for our charcuterie. We visited a fromagerie, boulangerie, cave aux vins, le marche plein air, et le Monoprix to find what we need.
Here’s what we had:
cheeses: a brie, de melun lait cru
a chèvre, cabri cendré fermier
a tantation lait cru from St. Félicen
a Tomme de Savoie from Abondance Fermiere
The meats: jambon cru fumé de la forêt noire
jambon cru Espangnol
jamón serrano
salame di milano
chorizo Espangnol
We also had: pimento olives
olives stuffed with almonds
apple , figs and melon to wrap the meat around
dried strawberries
The wine was a Chateau Chavrignac Bordeaux 2009
and a fabulous baguette from the Boulangerie au Petit Duc!
We ended with a decadent chocolate treat called a Royale, chocolate mousse decorated with some praline and topped with chocolate ganache.
