New Arrivals

new arrivals at the Gourmet ShopCompagnie de Provence To celebrate their 25th Anniversary, we have received 2 New Limited Editions of their famous liquid soap. These are well received as one of the very best hostess gifts around! In 1999, Compagnie de Provence made an innovative move and introduced the very first liquid version of Marseille soap. Since then, this outstanding soap has found its way into bathrooms across the globe. To celebrate this quarter-century anniversary they have created a limited-edition collection. Saponified in a cauldron according to tradition, this liquid soap is enriched with vegetable oils and turns into a fine foam that gently cleanses the skin. Olive, grape seed and sweet almond oils are sourced from partnerships with local producers in France who have historically practice traditional and natural farming techniques. Free of coloring agents and animal fats. The limited scents are:

feature from The Gourmet ShopVerbena & Citron A sparkling twist on the iconic Fresh Verbena scent, synonymous with Compagnie de Provence, with notes of orange blossom and jasmine flowers.

Wine of the Week

wine of the week at The Gourmet ShopPatricia Green Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard ’22
“An enticing blend of dried roses, peppery spice and woodland berries wafts up from the 2022 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard. This is vividly fruit-focused yet crisp in feel, with tactile minerals adding a crunchy sensation as tart red and blue fruits swirl throughout. It tapers off youthfully tense, leaving a staining of primary concentration while silty tannins frame the experience well. Drink 2026-2034.”
