For me, this magical season is all about indulgence. A big part of the Christmas spirit is all the treats and goodies. And if you don’t have to bake them yourself, then it’s an even bigger treat! So, every year I scout for the finest Christmas treats out there and this year I’m back to my favourite selection, at L’Opera. The collection complements the classic L’Opéra gift boxes and hampers which come in Christmas sleeves and the popular pastel coloured leather-like baskets which are just gorgeous. Their classic selection is back with Bûches (Yule log), Chocolates, Panettone, Christmas Pudding, Biscuits, Plum Cake, Alpine Nut Cake, Galette des Rois as well as a signature Toffee Sauce to relish with the Christmas Pudding and other festive specialities. The best part is that even though the brand is relatively commercial, the home style taste is very much intact, the authenticity of the products will take you straight to Europe.
Bûche (Yule log) is a traditional dessert served during the pre-Christmas dinners and luncheons and on Christmas Eve in France and in neighbouring countries. It is made of a delicate sponge-type cake and rolled up, looking like a log. L’Opéra offers the Bûche (Yule log) in four variants: the traditional Coffee Bûche the much-loved Black Forest, the indispensable Passion Fruit & Chocolate and the youthful Red Velvet variant. My personal favourite however is the unique Alpine Nut Cake, it combines a buttery crust with nuts enrobed in caramel, making it the perfect delicacy to enjoy with a warm cup of tea, coffee or L’Opéra’s signature hot chocolate. If you’re looking at gifting then I recommend their traditional biscuits, choose from Gingerbread, Shortbread The and extra nutty Hazelnut Crunch where the hazelnut flavour is so pronounced, it’s delightful. Christmas Pudding and Plum Cake are adorably packed and are ideal to share with friends and family and stock at home.
Christmas and New Year are the most important celebrations of the year in France and many other European countries. They symbolise a period specially dedicated to family, unity, a time for solidarity and friendship and, of course, a time to savour classic desserts and now you know where to get the best of the city. L’Opéra’s festive delicacies is available in all its outlets.
