In the heart of the magnificent Vaucluse region of Provence, the charming village of Gordes is a real gem. Perched on a hill, Gordes offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, whilst its cobbled streets and traditional stone buildings add a touch of Provençal charm to the village. Gordes is renowned not only for its picturesque beauty but also for its local culinary specialities, particularly its candied fruits. It is in this spirit that we are delighted to present our latest creation, “La Gorda”, a 400g basket of candied fruits that pays homage to this exceptional village.

La Gorda is an exquisite blend of flavours, a tribute to the delights of the Vaucluse and the tradition of Provençal confectionery. This basket is a mosaic of colours and tastes, bringing together a variety of candied fruits carefully selected to represent the very best of the region.

When you open ‘La Gorda,’ you are immediately enveloped by the heady aromas of the candied fruit. Every bite is a taste experience that transports you to the sun-drenched fields of Provence. The clementines bring a touch of tartness and freshness, whilst the candied melon adds a delicate sweetness. The pineapple, orange and pear bring notes of tropical flavours and a hint of citrus.

But ‘La Gorda’ doesn’t stop there. This basket is a celebration of the diversity of candied fruit, with a palette of flavours that evokes the seasons of Provence. Candied fig, apricot and plum bring notes of summer fruit, whilst the bigarreau cherry adds a touch of tart cherry and the kiwi a fresh, green note.

Each piece of fruit is carefully candied to preserve its natural flavour. The traditional candying technique is followed, ensuring that every bite retains the authentic taste of the region’s fruit. The process begins with immersion in a sugar syrup, after which the fruit is slowly dried to preserve its texture and flavour.

‘La Gorda’ is much more than just a basket of candied fruit; it is an invitation to explore the delights of Provence through its unique flavours. This selection is the result of the passion and expertise of our artisan confectioners, who employ techniques passed down through generations.

Whether you’re a lover of confectionery or a fan of Provence, “La Gorda” is the ideal gift. This basket is also perfect for adding a Provençal touch to your parties and celebrations. It pairs perfectly with a glass of local wine, making every tasting a memorable moment.

La Gorda is much more than just a box of candied fruit.
