Albert Ménès Pain d’Epices 300g

This spiced gingerbread cake with 55% honey is made by French producer Albert Ménès to a traditional recipe. It’s a slow process, starting with the honey-infused mother dough, which is left to ferment for at least a month before being kneaded with the yeast, spices, and more honey. With no added sugar or other additives, the result is a loaf that’s delicious, indulgent, soft and rich.

A wonderful and easy snack, this pain d’epices is also traditionally served lightly toasted with foie gras. And it’s an integral part of carbonade flamande: a rich beef and onion stew with a characteristic spiced flavour.
