White Fir Carmine

Origin: France - Pyrenees Net volumes and weights: 50ml / 28g / .98 oz Ingredients: Abies Alba fir cones, sugars from organic farming Description: Every summer, in the Catalan Pyrenees park, the cones (pine cones) of the white Abies Alba fir are harvested traditionally by hand with care and respect for the environment (approved by the ONF and the Catalan Pyrenees natural park) only 70% of the cones are picked respecting the distribution of 7 out of 10 trees harvested. The key to this harvest lies in the careful selection of cones: those with the highest sap and resin content. The main area is located at an altitude of 1,700 metres on fir trees that regularly reach a height of over 35 metres. These cones, once dried, macerate in organic sugar for several weeks in order to extract the resin and sap to make fir syrup. The cones are then ground into powder, which gives us this magnificent carmine-coloured spice developing fresh and resinous notes reminiscent of fir and certain citrus fruits, accompanied by more gourmet notes reminiscent of gingerbread. Directions for use: You can use this powder in your desserts and pastries, it will bring an original touch to your fruit tarts, especially citrus and wild berries. It is very interesting to accompany fruits alone / in salads / in jam, particularly wild fruits and exotic fruits. It goes very well with cinnamon and chocolate. In the savory register on a pan-fried vegetable, mushroom, potato and sweet potato.
