Maison Bremond Tree of Life Advent Calendar, 440g

Maison Brémond’s Tree of Life Advent Calendar combines Provençal and Mediterranean specialities with a celebration of the natural world. Its 24 windows reveal fruit jellies, caramels, nougat, calissons and more, alongside herbal infusions and two planting surprises. Is this your first time buying from us?

It’s an Advent gift for someone who enjoys discovering regional sweets beyond chocolate. Look out for caramel with Camargue sea salt, Provence PGI lavender honey and Sicilian pistachio spread made with 25% pistachios and 22% extra virgin olive oil.

Try the honey on warm toast, or spoon the pistachio spread over a crêpe. Chocolate-coated almonds and orange-blossom-flavoured biscuits add to the selection.

• 24 windows of Mediterranean sweets, honey, spreads and infusions
• Includes Sicilian pistachio spread made with extra virgin olive oil
• Flower seeds and Saint Barbara’s Day wheat to plant

The Tree of Life theme invites you to notice the biodiversity of lavender fields, forests, orchards and rivers, from bees and wildflowers to birds. A flower seed mix containing 26 annual species and wheat for Saint Barbara’s Day bring that theme beyond the calendar: both are for planting, not eating.

Meet the maker: Maison Bremond

Maison Brémond 1830 began as a family confectionery workshop on the Cours Mirabeau in Aix-en-Provence. Almonds were at the heart of the business, with calissons d’Aix and pralines among its specialities. But this was also somewhere to shop for spices, coffee and fine groceries: a sweet tooth wasn’t essential.

In 2015, Olivier Baussan, founder of L’Occitane en Provence and Oliviers & Co, took over the business with his family. Today, Maison Brémond brings together foods from selected artisans and producers, drawing on skills passed down through generations. There are lovely regional connections behind the jars: its hazelnut spreads, for example, are handcrafted at the Chocolaterie de Banon in Haute-Provence, using hazelnuts grown in Provence.

Preserving that regional heritage means looking after the landscape, too. Maison Brémond works with Act For Planet on agroforestry planting in Haute-Provence, with the aim of protecting soil, conserving water and restoring biodiversity.
