Christmas Spices
Days are getting shorter and shorter, we've pulled out the winter coats, gloves and hats, we relax comfortably under a plaid, a warm tea in one hand and a good book in the other. Everything suggests that Christmas is fast approaching, and indeed, the delicious Christmas spices that are already sneaking into our kitchens confirm it! Cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger… gourmet spices that warm our dishes and senses during the Holiday season.
Spices in our grocery !
Among the most famous Christmas spices, of course, is cinnamon. Used in many cakes, dishes, or drinks throughout the year, it is particularly characteristic of the holiday season. It can be found especially in mulled wine, speculus and, of course, gingerbread. At Le Comptoir Irlandais, we invite you to taste the Christmas gingerbread from Mileeven, rich in cinnamon, it is mellow and gourmet for a tasty experience!
We like to accompany this gingerbread with a hot drink for a real moment of sweetness, our selection of Christmas teas is ideal with their sweet spice flavours, orange peel, or almond chips.
This year’s favourite is the Mackays Christmas Duo Marmalade and Preserve with their sweet spices. A delicious marmalade with orange and cranberries with a hint of ginger or a warm jam with red fruits mixed with a touch of mulled wine, the Christmas spices spread too!
A spicy cellar !
Spices also invade our Christmas cellar! The Christmas season inspires our breweries and distilleries to offer you the best of the Holiday season.
This winter, head to the warmth of the islands with our spiced rums from Breiz'île, Caribbean agricultural rums that blend exotic fruits and sweet spices. To stay in the spicy flavours,browse our selection of arranged and spiced rums such as Bumbu rum.
