Our favorite strawberry varieties :

Gariguette

Period : from April to June.
The + : Slightly tangy taste.

Elongated shape, with hints of citrus and a touch of acidity for juicy flesh : if you like acid fruit, this is the one for you!

Mara des Bois

Period: from July to September

The + : Intense wild strawberry perfume.

 The Mara des bois, also know as the round strawberry, is reminiscent of the wild strawberry, and although it is sometimes discreet until mid-July, since it is a late variety, it always offers a promising wait.

Carpentras

Period: from March to July.

The + : Large siez, firm flesh, sweet taste.

The Carpentras, first variety to appear on our market stall at the end of March, extends its presence until mid-July. These strawberries evolve in taste and texture with the seasons. Initially crunchy and sweet, they develop a tender juiciness.

Charlotte

Period:  from June to September.

The + : Delicate wild strawberry flavor.

Charlotte, born of a remontant variety, is melt-in-the-mouth, juicy and sweet, reminiscent of wild strawberries.

The must-haves,
 for greater mastery and more gourmet.

Once you've baked your tart dough in your mold or ring, place it on a grid to cool down and remove any excess moisture. Once cooled, use an offset spatula to spread the pastry cream you've prepared with a whisk in a saucepan. Then arrange your strawberries.

You can also add some touches of basil, mint or pistachio with precision tweezer. For service, a tart server will come in handy for cutting the slices and serving them with a simple gesture. 

If you have extra strawberries, garnish your tart with a delicious coulis. Carefully  pour it onto the plate using our Kwik, a stainless steel mini funnel.
