LE SAFRAN DE BOURGOGNE

Local producer

Since 2009, Sylvie Lagier has chosen to produce Saffron in Burgundy. At 20 bulbs per m ² the safranières land develops near Gevrey-Chambertin. Burgundy Red Gold, so called, is sold between 30 000 and 35 000 € per kg. This entirely manual and natural production on the basis of a fragile and ephemeral flower makes it a rare product. Saffron is actually the dried crocus pistil for its conservation and millésimé, because after 3 years its qualities and properties are lost. Its use in the gastronomy is booming because its aromas and flavours are subtle and seductive. You can also describe it as a exhauster of natural flavours! As a matter of fact, conservators have not been deceived and used, such as Laurent Peugeot at the Charlemagne or Christian Gaulin in Mâcon Chez Pierre. The use is very economical, some pistils per person or per dish is enough. Saffron from Burgundy can be found directly at Sylvie Lagier and in some specialty grocery stores from Burgundy to Beaune.

Chevalier Bakery - Family Business since 1930! - is the place of all the delights. Muriel and Thierry Chevalier, the masters of the places, are for much so they are smiling, patients, attentive… Side products, the ancestral recipes of the affiliated bakery "Banette" are next to the novelties. Some twenty references to bread are offered to visitors whose originalities, such as the "apical strings" to the tears, olives, county, chorizo, roquefort or salmon; silk bread and grapes; the Viking Banette. On the pastry shelf, next to the succulent mint macarons, orange, pistachio or coffee, and many other compounds at the mercy of the humors! The Pont des Arvaux (stuffed biscuit with almonds and hazelnut cream), the Tatin cake (Breton sanded, vanilla foam and caramelized butter apples) seduce us as much as the Creolia with its passion/cassis foam on a Breton sand. Knowing that Muriel and Thierry Chevalier continue to vary pleasures according to seasons.
