Gourmet gift boxes

Gourmet gift set: our gift sets from Mont-Saint-Michel

A La Mère Poulard gourmet gift set brings together in one box what the house prepares a few kilometers from Mont-Saint-Michel: pure butter biscuits and, depending on the set, chocolates, caramels, jams or savory groceries.

Each item indicates the contents, weight and material of the box. The choice is based on these three elements rather than on the decor. This page provides an overview and directs you to the selection that matches what you are looking for.

In 1888, Annette Poulard opened her inn at the foot of the rock. Her cooking earned her the title of "Mère", reserved for great French cooks. She also prepared biscuits that she offered to pilgrims' children and called them "my lucky charms". Paul Bocuse wrote in the inn's guestbook: "La Mère Poulard, that's France!"

Which box set should you choose?

By box set family

The biscuit box setis limited to the six pure butter recipes of the house. The chocolate box setbrings together tablets with a salted butter caramel cream heart, truffles, and florentines. The appetizer box setis savory. Two other selections exist, one dedicated to salted butter caramel, the other to jams.

For biscuit assortments, the content is detailed reference by reference. The 750g tin box contains Le Sablé Pur Beurre, Le Sablé Caramel, Le Sablé Éclats de chocolat, and Le Palet Pur Beurre. The 375g cardboard box brings together the six flavors of the house, three sablés and three palets. The large 1.045kg assortment changes logic and includes the four historic biscuits: sablé, palet, grande galette, petit beurre. The 375g Haute Couture box set works in duos, three combinations in total.

By number of guests

A half-box of 200 to 250g is suitable for a household of one or two people. A 500g box set accompanies coffee for several people. A 750g or 1.045kg assortment is enough for a large table and can be kept: the minimum shelf life of the biscuits ranges from 12 to 14 months depending on the recipe.

By occasion

For end-of-year celebrations, the Christmas gourmet box setsgather seasonal assortments. To extend a visit, the Souvenirs of Mont-Saint-Michelbring together items related to the rock. For a birthday, a thank you, or a welcome, a half-box is sufficient.

The box, and what becomes of it

Nearly half of the company's sales are in metal boxes, and the box is as important as its contents.

The Mythiqueand Collectorbox sets and half-box sets are made of tin. Once the biscuits are shared, the box can be kept, on a shelf or in a drawer, to store photos or buttons. Some give them away, others keep them.

The casesand cardboard boxesserve another purpose: lighter, they are easy to carry and slip into a bag. The 1888range takes its name from the year the inn opened, an inscription also found on the biscuit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a gourmet gift box, a biscuit gift box, a chocolate gift box and an aperitif gift box?
The gourmet gift box is the category that brings all the others together. The biscuit gift box contains only La Mère Poulard pure butter biscuits: sablés, palets, Grande Galette, Petit Beurre, cookies and chocolate chip biscuits. The chocolate gift box brings together the bars with a salted butter caramel cream centre, the truffles and the florentines. The aperitif gift box belongs to the savoury grocery range.
Which gourmet gift box size should you choose?
The La Mère Poulard half-size gift box, 200 to 250 g, suits one or two people; the 500 g gift box suits coffee with several guests; and the 750 g or 1.045 kg assortment suits a large table. The 120 to 145 g cartons are ideal for a lighter gesture.
What is the difference between the Mythique, Collector, 1888 and Haute Couture ranges?
Mythique and Collector are the two ranges of metal gift boxes from La Mère Poulard. They offer the same recipes and the same weights, and differ only in their decoration. 1888 is a cardboard range, available in cartons and in a 375 g box. Haute Couture refers to three 375 g metal gift boxes made up of pairs of recipes.
Can the gift box tins be kept?
La Mère Poulard Mythique and Collector gift boxes and half-size gift boxes are made of metal: they can be kept once the biscuits have been shared. The lighter cartons and cardboard boxes are designed to be carried away.
Can a gourmet gift box be delivered straight to the recipient?
Yes. Simply enter their address when ordering in the La Mère Poulard shop. Your parcel is prepared within 48 hours in France, to which you then add the carrier's delivery time, and the gift box arrives ready to give.
