La Boutique

Sampling French Pain d'Épices

French Pain d'Épices, or spiced bread, is a classic treat steeped in tradition and warmth. Often associated with the holiday season, this fragrant loaf is made with honey, rye flour, and an aromatic blend of spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Its dense, slightly sweet flavor pairs beautifully with butter, cheese, or even foie gras, making it versatile for both sweet and savory occasions. Originating from the French region of Alsace, Pain d'Épices is a beloved symbol of festive cheer and a staple at Christmas markets across France.

If you’d like to experience its full French charm, we’ll happily add a little bit of delicious foie gras on it for you to try—it’s a pairing you won’t forget! Perfect for gifting or savoring with a cup of tea, Pain d'Épices brings a taste of French heritage to any table.
