A few drops in a custard and the aroma takes over: vanilla, almond and fresh hay. This essence is also known as boreal vanilla.
Gourmet Sauvage has been harvesting boreal plants since 1993, when Gérald Le Gal founded the company; the Mont-Blanc business, in the Laurentides, is now co-led by his daughter Ariane Paré-Le Gal and Pascal Benaksas-Couture. Its trained foragers hand-pick more than a hundred wild products across all regions of Quebec, following a code of ethics for responsible harvesting; these products are then processed the artisanal way in the Laurentides. The sweet clover flowers are gathered in July and patiently sorted with tweezers; it took three years of research and development to perfect the essence.
Format: 130 ml.
Ingredients: alcohol, water, sweet clover flowers. Gluten-free, GMO-free and vegan.
Serving suggestion: use it wherever you would use vanilla: a few drops in crêpe or waffle batter, cookies, a banana, lemon or chocolate cake, crème brûlée, panna cotta, a sauce, a cocktail or a flavoured coffee.
Storage: away from light, without refrigeration; once opened, its shelf life is unlimited according to Gourmet Sauvage.
Origin: crafted the artisanal way in the Laurentides by Gourmet Sauvage, a company based in Mont-Blanc, from Quebec sweet clover flowers.
