Cantal by igourmetA specialty from the region of Auvergne (France) and allegedly, one of the oldest know variety of cheese: legend has it that Julius Caesar loved it while defeating Vercingetorix.It is really good! I do not know how else to describe it, but I am partial: I have a weakness for cheese!

Martin Pouret Orleans Wine Vinegar, 17.63-Ounce BottlesMartin Pouret wine vinegars are most excellent. They impart a vinegar flavor which is neither bitter nor harsh. I only use Pouret red, white and tarragon for my cooking purposes.

Confiserie du Roy René - Calissons, diamond-shaped box 260g 9.5 oz, Calissons 260grI wanted these candies to go with a provence theme dinner. I remembered them from a trip to France long ago. The candies are just as I remembered, delicious. They are delicate and not too sweet with a nutty, slightly floral citrus taste, very subtle. Everyone at the dinner liked them. (Good thing since they are sort of expensive.)

However, I was disappointed in the packaging. They used to come in a charming tin. Now the container is thin plastic. I should have guessed. But that destroyed some of the elegance of the presentation.

I'm annoyed that through negligence or incompetence there is a picture online of the product for sale (a box of cookies and a jar of something that looks like lemon curd or preserves), which does not match the item that arrived. The cookies were to be a gift for a French friend from Aix. Not knowing if she'd like the "lemon curd", I bought 2 of the item, thinking I'd try the "preserves" to make sure they were tasty or suitable for a gift; if not, I'd use it.

Imagine my disappointment when only 2 boxes of cookies showed up the cookies may be good and my French friend was touched I went to so much trouble, but I'm annoyed that through negligence or incompetence there is a picture online of the product for sale, which does not match the item that arrived.

Lame. I won't bother shopping here again.
