In the 1920s, brothers Melkoum and Mouchegh Petrossian had the extraordinarily avant garde idea of introducing France to sturgeon roe.

Indeed, the Petrossian family is known for being the first to bring caviar into France in 1920, thus continuing on the path of a family destiny dedicated to caviar since Lazare Mailoff, an ancestor from the maternal branch, began running fishing concessions on the Caspian Sea in 1815.

The success of their venture far exceeded their wildest dreams. In a country known throughout the world for its gastronomy, caviar became the deliciously exotic food everyone craved. Since then, from Paris to New York, caviar has quite naturally taken on the role of an elegant and superb ambassador for luxury.

Petrossian, a family business, is a French institution for nearly 100 years. His name is so bound to caviar that it has become synonymous with caviar.

The three branches of the Rothschild family have come together and given rise to a single ambition: produce a magnificent achievement as each has always done in their respective fields. To create Champagne Barons de Rothschild, the Rothschild family as put together the best terroirs and added their savoir-faire. Drawing from their experience in the sphere of wine and allying with Champagne families whose life’s work has been to create outstanding products, the Barons de Rothschild have once again build excellence. This unusual alliance is a guarantee of work well done. It exemplifies shared expertise and demanding quality, deep respect of long-standing tradition.

Thanks to this small green nut that their passion and dedication became a job. Vincente pistachios grow on the steep, rocky lava flows of Etna, almost like a challenge of nature; a symbolism that becomes an allegory of the Sicilian people’s constant commitment to the pursuit of goodness and beauty. A challenge that has been repeated for centuries, since the first settlers who gradually instilled the concept of perfection and refinement in our way of working.

The ingredients in Vincente recipes, for example, derive from the Arab invasion in Sicily that bought not only their culture but also their way of cooking; these delicacies over time have emerged into their culture and transformed into a masterpiece of taste, which is imitated throughout the world. This is why they have dedicated this introduction to the Pistachio from Bronte, so that they don’t forget that they love the pistachio because they are from Bronte.

One of Paris’s oldest sweets shops, Maison Boissier was founded by Bélissaire Boissier in 1827. At the time, the shop was located on boulevard des Capucines. Located today on avenue Victor Hugo, its reputation for fine confections has endured for nearly two centuries. Specialities include delicately scented wafer-thin chocolate petals in milk, dark, white and pink chocolate, and “bonbons boule” (fruit candies), favoured in his day by Victor Hugo himself. In 2000, Maison Boissier was taken over by Sylvie Douce and François Jeannet, founders of the Salon du Chocolate.

Santomiele’s company was founded in 1999 for our will, resuming what was the family business in the early 900, mending a tear in the tradition and redefining my roots. The idea, which has now become their passion, was not only that of producing the fig but also to transform it, aiming at excellence, beginning from the raw material, the figs, which are strictly selected, sun-dried and carefully handmade. Master craftsmen work for them, and everyone of them has his own work-table and a limited production. History is inherent in their land. The tradition is in the craftmanship and in the respect of the past. The style is in the choice of the raw material, always top quality. They are faithful to the style although they are always reinventing the product to seduce and surprise. Another key to Santomiele’s success is the strong connection with the territory, which they preserve and grows steadily. Disregard it would be a mistake which might turn the business strength in infertility. In fact, the company is the interpreter of a local reality and a really strong cultural identity, plunging their roots in a very ancient past which, however, has still a lot to tell. Santomiele went back to basics in a strongly Mediterranean spirit; perfumes, flavors, colors: these are their key words. They want their products to celebrate the land of the myths.

Cartwright & Butler History

At Cartwright & Butler, great taste is in our genes.

Our family has been creating the most exceptional teatime treats for more than 115 years, and the standards set in our kitchen of a terraced house in Yorkshire are still what guide us today. Run by brothers Terry and Tony Arnett, direct descendants of the original founders, Cartwright & Butler is built on a passion for food that puts a smile on your face. We don’t do low fat, won’t count calories and we’ll never compromise on taste. We’re all about the butteriest, the creamiest and the crumbliest, because that’s what makes good food great. The world might have changed since the seeds of our business were planted in 1900’s. But what we stand for hasn’t. The very best tasting treats that create moments of joy every single day.

For 5 generations Antico Frantoio Muraglia has been producing extra virgin olive oil with the same passion and in full respect of tradition, the same passed down by generations of expert olive growers and oil masters.

Simple and ambitious, is the research for the maximum quality. Experience, innovation, strict rules and new technologies are our concern. Ursini work with consciousness and responsibility, always using the best raw material. Ursini is a family first, then a company.

In 2015, to revive this Parisian tradition, Nadège Gaultier and Laura Goninet founded Confiture Parisienne with the desire to create exceptional jams using products that are just as exceptional. From ancient times, the “fines bouches” have developed various recipes for preserving fruit by cooking it with wine or honey. But to taste jams as we know them, we have to wait for the first crusades and the introduction of cane sugar from the Arab world. This luxury commodity allows the transformation of fruit into jam, only reserved for royal tables. At the beginning of the 19th century, the elaboration of beet sugar democratized this product, in Paris many jam makers opened their shops and supplied themselves with fruit from the surrounding orchards.

Discover Beemster

Where small family Farming, traditional craftsmanship , and a dedication to sustainability come together to create premium Dutch cheese. Beemster farmer-owned cooperative was founded in 1901, but the story dates back to the early 17th Century, when the Dutch reclaimed a coastal lagoon and created the nutrient-dense pasture that continue to feed our herds and produce some of the finest milk in the world. With artisan, time-tested techniques, using this incredible milk to bring the richest, most flavorful cheese.

Their cheese factory is located in the town of Tresviso, in the Liébana region of Cantabria, Spain, within the Picos de Europa National Park, at an altitude of 900 m. and part of the Biosphere Reserve. It was in this spectacular region of pastures and mountains that the company JAVIER CAMPO was founded in 2005. This artisan cheese factory offers a high-quality product made with all-natural ingredients and according to traditional methods.

Given the nature of the landscape this area has been geographically isolated and it’s natural and traditional ways have been preserved, including cheese making with an official denomination of origin (DO) Picón Bejes-Tresviso, protected since 1994. The cheeses from the region are made according to time honored tradition passed from generation to generation over centuries. This, combined with the high mountain pastures where cows graze for most of the year, give the cheese the wild flavour that recalls the spectacular Picos de Europa mountain range. The result is a strong, piquant blue cheese with lots of personality and a buttery creamy aspect. The essence of the mountains and a treat for the palate. This cheese is the product of constant care and dedication to the process, starting with the finest raw milk to the final curing. The Parda-Alpina cows, producing some 7,000 liters annually, spend the season grazing peacefully in the mountains, a natural and tranquil life that is reflected in the quality of the milk.

The close proximity of the cheese factory, meters from the farm, also means that the milk is not harmed by long travel. The facilities are fully modernized and up-to-date, meeting all health and quality standards but without compromising in the use of traditional production methods or natural ingredients.

The history of the Lavoratti factory begins in 1938, when the sale took place only on the beach through a wooden box full of sweets that would later become a successful store in the historic center of Liguria. In 2020 it was relaunched with the utmost care for the terroir and its traditions and an inspiration for new ideas.

At the time of Bonaparte’s accession, there were two foie gras manufacturers in Strasbourg. In 1803, a newcomer, Philippe Artzner, a pastry chef and caterer by trade, opened a shop flanked by a foie gras production facility in the city centre. He developed tasty recipes and became a true creator of gastronomic trends.

Around 1850 his son Edouard, who took over the business, was the first to cook goose livers in terracotta terrines. Cooked slowly and at a low temperature, the foie gras preserves all its qualities and flavour.

“After cooling, Edouard Artzner covers these pâtés with a layer of goose fat, which guarantees a conservation period of 2 to 3 weeks, a revolution for the time!”

The considerable success of this new packaging with the most prestigious customers heralded the real development of Foie Gras in France and throughout the world. This know-how was to be preserved by Artzner throughout the centuries and beyond all fashions.

“Today, our Chefs continue the tradition by using this know-how to prepare foies gras, but also a whole range of fine specialities: goose and duck breasts, quail legs, fine pâtés and terrines…A whole gastronomic art dedicated to the satisfaction of the most demanding gourmets!”

The Bonati family has been a family of farmers for 4 generations and runs a farm in the countryside of Parma. Today they have approximately 100 cows which produce milk that they transform into Parmigiano Reggiano in the cheese factory and then mature the product in the aging stock. They manage everything by themselves: from the food for the animals, to the milk they produce, to the transformation into cheese to the selling. Their cows eat mainly centennial meadow hay containing grass and essences unknown and extremely rare in the meadow of most recent planting. The richness of this hay gives the milk and therefore the cheese exclusive flavourings. 

Krumiri Rossi introduced the traditional Italian vanilla biscuit delight to the world, one of the symbols of Casale Monferrato. Globally loved from everybody, from folk to kings and presidents since 1878, the one and only Krumiri are an instant sweet success in the Italian art of confectionery.

According to legend Krumiri were invented partly for fun and partly by chance. Italy had been a unified country for only a few years and the repercussions of the Risorgimento could still be felt. After spending an evening with friends in his local café, Domenico Rossi invited them all to his confectioner’s kitchen and there, with a little alchemy and a touch of magic, he baked the very first Krumiri.

As the new century dawned, Krumiri had already received a series of important official accolades, such as a bronze medal at the Turin Universal Exhibition in 1884 and Diplomas as “Supplier to the House of his Highness the Duke of Aosta, the Duke of Genoa and “Supplier to the Royal House of Italy to Umberto I”. And in 1900 it won the Grand Award of Honour at the Casale Exhibition.

At the dawn of the third millennium, Krumiri are an institution. There’s always the strong desire to look towards the future and a new era, but also to respect traditions that convey values and security at the same time. The Portinaro family’s confectionery has been a point of reference for many famous gourmets.

Every Masseria Mirogallo jar is hand-harvested from the Belfiore fields, and the only preservatives they use are vinegar and salt. The plentiful summer’s bounty is transformed into the best the Lucanian land can offer.
