Holidays in Val de Garonne have a very particular taste... That of freedom, relaxation and curiosity, but not only that!
Between vegetable gardens, fields and beautiful tables, the Lot-et-Garonne full of local flavors with a strong character. Extend your shopping list with our top 8 products to taste.
01
Red gold: the tomato
But not just any ! That of Marmande, a true symbol of the generosity of the South-West. A carpaccio? La Côtelée reveals its scent to you. A barbecue ? La Cornue is in on the action. And for a salt crunch, the Heart works wonders.
02
Impossible to say no to him: the kiwi
Delicious to know: Lot-et-Garonne is the leading producer of kiwis in France. Less famous but just as delicious as the strawberry or the tomato, the hairiest of fruits can be found at any time of the day. Breakfast, dessert or snack: we enjoy it without moderation!
03
Like a summer air: strawberry
What do gariguette, charlotte and ciflorette have in common? 3 French varieties, 250 grams of pleasure per tray and 1 Label Rouge to celebrate their unique aroma. Not to mention its variations in pies, ice creams, coulis and other irresistible temptations.
04
He stops a corner (corner): the farm duck
Impossible to miss him when we talk about gastronomy! As a duck breast with a hint of honey, as a confit accompanied by roasted vegetables or enhanced by fig in foie gras, farm duck always promises a tasty meal.
05
The star of the orchards: the Agen prune
Agen, 10 minutes off! Just enough time to pick up a few nuggets of black gold at the nearby grocery store, melt for their unique taste, and stop before you finish the packet. More than a local sweetness, a concentrate of traditions made in Agen.
06
A touch of madness: the AOC Côtes-du-Marmandais
Merlot, cabernet sauvignon, abouriou... Discover these exceptional grape varieties up close and lull your palates with a superb AOC that will delight amateurs and connoisseurs. If reds are in the spotlight, its rosés and some whites will not fail to satisfy you.
07
Too crunchy: hazelnut
Dried fruit is looking for a budding pastry chef (or pastry chef!) to experience a beautiful recipe for two in Val de Garonne. Want to get to know each other? Head to the hazelnut house in Lacépède for a very delicious first meeting…
08
On the bone: Tonneins ham
The history of “postillon ham” is as tasty as its recipe. A dish once requested by Louis XIII, Tonneins ham remains a marker of Val de Garonnaise gastronomy and its love of good products.
09
