Fantastique French Fromage & Pantry Finds

A lot of folks think of art, romance, and the Eiffel Tower when France comes to mind. For us, it’s all about the food & wine! Every region of France produces some great beverage or gastronomic morsel that is in demand throughout the world. We are so fortunate to have such a plethora of great French items here at DLM that it is so easy to have a quick French picnic, build a French cheese plate, or enjoy a leisurely French inspired dinner.

FRENCH FROMAGE TO SAVOR

P’TIT BASQUE

Super flavorful cheese with nuances of caramel, butter, and a nutty finish. 100% sheep's milk, it makes a fantastic grilled cheese sandwich or paired with charcuterie and a light red wine.

DÉLICE DE BOURGOGNE

This richly textured French triple-cream cheese from Burgundy is quite buttery in texture and has hints of mushroomy aromas. Pairs perfectly with Champagne or smear a bit of St. Dalfour Preserves along with it on a cracker.

COMTÉ GRUYERE

Easily one of our favorite cheeses of all time! An Alpine-style hard cheese from the Jura Mountains that's nutty, sweet, fruity, and perfect for melting, cooking, or on a cheese board!

LE PAPILLON ROQUEFORT

This is the ultimate example of a creamy, rich blue made in the famous Combalou caves. It should be a standard on your cheese board or paired with fruit, nuts, or crusty bread (and wine, of course)!

FRENCH PANTRY FINDS

LES DÉLICES DU LUBERON AÏOLI GARLIC MAYONNAISE

Local olive growers' and farmers' products are used in this Provence-based line of artisan products. We love this mayonnaise with steamed fish, vegetables, or to add vibrant flavor to a sandwich.

ESPRIT DU SEL FLEUR DE SEL

Harnessing the natural elements of sun and wind from Île de Ré off the west coast of France, this sea salt is a culinary treasure harvested from the water's surface.

JACQUES GONIDEC SARDINES

Tinned fish seems to be all the rage right now, and we so happen to have some of the best! These sardines packed in olive oil are the ultimate treat smeared on a cracker, bread, or enjoyed straight from the tin for a quick snack.

NICOLAS ALZIARI 1868 CUVÉE PRESTIGE EXTRA-VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

This fruity olive oil has been made with a closely guarded recipe well over a hundred years with aromas of almond, mango, artichoke, and hazelnut. Ideal drizzled over raw vegetables.

ST. DALFOUR PRESERVES

These bright preserves are made in the “Garden of France” in Aquitaine, between the Pyrenees and Bordeaux. Using only 100% fruit with vineyard-ripened grape must (the sweet byproduct of winemaking) as a natural sweetener, the flavor shines. Serve with a cheese board or slather thickly on a DLM All-Butter Croissant or slice of Farmhouse Bread.

EDMOND FALLOT MUSTARD

This is one of our favorite mustards from Burgundy, France! The moutardier is family owned since 1840 and is run by founder Edmo
