Gariguette Strawberry 🍓
We are right at the point where the first of the large producers sends this famous strawberry to market, but for the moment, we have the Marmandise one, which is beautiful.
They have just moved to a new area of production, so the fruit is from the first flower and a little large, but the flavour is certainly there. Small volumes for another week or two.
Gariguette strawberries are one of the earliest spring strawberries, available from March to June. These strawberries, which come from the Marmandise region in South-West France, are regarded as a quality early-season variety with a strong scent.
They are elongated, bright red, and have a very sweet and tart “wild strawberry” flavour.
The best ways to eat them are fresh, in salads, or in delicate sweets like tartare aux fraises, which are traditional French strawberry tarts.
Did you know…? Gariguette strawberries are highly prized in France, often heralded as the “queen of varieties” marking the beginning of spring.
