The very first post of this blog!! We would like to dedicate it to a spread that we like very much: the artisanal salted butter caramel made by the Abbaye de Landévennec in Bretagne, France.
It was pure luck that we discovered this finger-licking spread and we adored it when we had our first bite. The spread bears the Monastic label. The French brand has long been supporting handmade products from the French abbeys. As a matter of fact, Monastic care about the provenance of the food ingredients, the environment, sustainability, and the product’s uniqueness, so we can rest assured of the food that we take from them.
Salted butter caramel spread is a specialty in Bretagne
L’Abbaye de Landévennec is the only abbey in France that makes this divine spread. No food colouring or preservatives, its caramel colour comes from the natural colour of sugar cane. When you grab a bite, you will feel the smooth and creamy texture that gives a sense of delicacy in your mouth. The aftertaste? It is a combination of the rightfully balanced salted butter, crème fraîche, and sugar cane that lingers. As a result, the sweetness is just perfect to be served with other desserts.
How do we like it?
We love enjoying it on a slice of brioche or cheesecake. It also tastes wonderfully with toast, yoghurt, crêpe or vanilla ice cream. Today, I had it in my morning coffee. Only a spoon of it and wow… the aroma of my coffee is ascended!
P.s. Your support is an encouragement to the abbey so their small community can continue to operate and be self-sufficient.
