There’s so much to love about fall. It’s the season of comfy sweaters, crisp air, and changing leaves but our favorite thing about it is the food! We crave comforting autumn flavors that keep us warm and taking advantage of an abundant harvest, like the rich sweetness of apples and spicy aromas of cinnamon and rosemary. Get cozy this season with these artisanal products from the Le Gourmet Central Shop, each carefully crafted to bring out the best of fall's bounty.
Apple & Pear: A Sweet Symphony
There's something inherently autumnal about the pairing of apples and pears. Their flavors meld together to create a sweet, slightly tart profile that captures the essence of fall. The Les Confitures à l’Ancienne Apple Pear Walnut Jam takes this classic duo to the next level. Slowly simmered in a copper pot, this rustic jam combines the lusciousness of apples and pears with the earthy crunch of walnuts, creating a spread that's perfect on warm toast, baked brie, or spread over waffles and pancakes.
Chestnut: The Heart of the Harvest
You might not have your own fire to roast them on but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy
chestnuts this fall.
Their culinary potential goes far beyond a simple snack. The Pasta di Liguria Chestnut Flour Ruffles are a beautiful expression of chestnut's versatility.
This unique pasta is made with chestnut flour, giving it a delicate sweetness and a
distinct nutty flavor. The ruffled edges of the pasta are perfect for holding onto rich, hearty
sauces, like a meat ragu.
Pair it with a sage and brown butter sauce for a truly decadent meal on a chilly autumn night.
Pumpkin: The Ultimate Fall Flavor
We had to include it, no flavor is more synonymous with fall than pumpkin. Its warm, earthy
sweetness is beloved in both sweet and savory dishes. The Pumpkin and Spice Jam by
Museu de la Confitura is anything but basic.
This jam is a beautiful blend of fresh sugar pumpkin puree mixed with aromatic spices, like
ginger and lemon. This spread is perfect for everything from breakfast toast to filling in
baked goods and adding flavor to your morning oatmeal.
It’s like capturing the flavor of a pumpkin pie in a single spoonful—sweet, spiced, and utterly
comforting.
Figs: A Touch of Elegance
Figs are a fruit often associated with indulgence and romance, and their rich, honeyed flavor
is perfectly suited to the fall season.
The Fig Preserve by Mrs. Bridges is a sophisticated addition to any autumn table. This
preserve maintains the traditional British tradition of preserve making, passed down through the
generations.
The resulting spread carries a distinct figgy taste without being too sweet, making it an
excellent accompaniment to soft cheeses. Set out a cheese board with figs as the
centerpiece the next time you have guests for the easiest show stopper.
Cinnamon: Warming Comfort
The taste of cinnamon keeps us feeling cozy as the nights get colder. We happily add it to
everything from beverages to baked goods with its warm, comforting aroma.
For a truly indulgent morning experience, try pouring a cup of the Cinnamon Gourmet Ground Coffee by the Mediterranean coffee roasters, Cafés Granell.
This coffee is infused with the rich, spicy notes of cinnamon, making each cup a welcome
treat. Perfect for starting your day or enjoying a quiet afternoon, you’ll savor every sip.
Ginger: A Zesty Kick
Ginger adds a bright, zesty note to the rich flavors of fall. The Goulibeur Lemon Ginger Shortbread from the French bakers at Goulibeur combines the warmth of ginger with the
tartness of lemon.
These shortbreads are perfect for enjoying with a cup of tea or coffee or offering to last
minute guests. You won’t be able to stop at just one!
Vanilla: Luxurious Sweetness
Vanilla is a flavor that adds a touch of luxury to any dish, and in the fall, it pairs beautifully with
the season's stronger spices and fruits. The Le Beurre Bordier Madagascar Vanilla Butter is
a sublime way to enjoy this flavor.
This butter is rich, creamy, and infused with the exotic sweetness of Madagascar vanilla.
Spread it on freshly baked bread, melt it over pancakes, or use it to add a decadent touch to
your baking.
Le Beurre butter is made fresh monthly in France and delivered to Michelin restaurants
around the world and is now available at your doorstep.
Rosemary: Earthy Aromatics
Rosemary is a herb that evokes the rugged beauty of the autumn landscape with its piney,
earthy aroma.
The Terre Exotique Organic Chopped Rosemary is a versatile seasoning that can be used in
a variety of dishes, from roasted vegetables to grilled meats. Grown on terraced organic farms
on the mountainous island of Crete, this rosemary is dried openly and iodized by the sea
wind.
Thyme: A Taste of the Earth
Thyme is a wonderfully aromatic herb that captures the essence of autumn with its subtle, earthy flavor. The Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Thyme from CanigoOil is a beautifully crafted oil that combines the richness of extra virgin olive oil with the fragrant notes of thyme. Drizzle it over grilled meats, use it as a base for dressings, or simply enjoy it with a crusty bread.
