Lavender scent, memory of Provence
Lavender scent, memory of Provence
Flavors that are born among lavender fields
In Provence, time is measured in golden light, and the soul breathes among aromas. There's no rush: harvested by hand, smelled, tasted, shared. Each food tells a story of generations who have learned to live with the land.
Provençal cuisine is warm, simple, and sensual. It combines the fragrance of thyme and sage with the sweetness of ripe figs or the firmness of a good goat cheese cured in chestnut leaves.
The ingredients are chosen not by fashion, but by memory. The tender and flavorful Sisteron lamb is slow-roasted with sprigs of fresh rosemary. The sun-dried tomatoes are preserved in lavender-scented oil, and the artisanal cheeses are served with homemade apricot or black cherry jams.
In the squares, markets offer lavender honey, Camargue fleur de sel, and black Nyon olives. Each stall is a temptation for the senses: it smells of country bread, tapenade, and freshly grated lemon peel.
Olive oil—green, fruity, enveloping—is the common thread running through almost every dish. And to round off a slow meal, there's tarte tropézienne, Banon cheese, or a chilled rosé wine, made from vines that also saw the passing of Cézanne and Van Gogh.
Así se saborea la Provenza, despacio, como se vive.
