Financiers, shortbread, brownies and even chocolate bars can be discovered in the Advent calendar of The Cow of Louvicampbased in Mesnil-Mauger (Seine-Maritime).
These tasty treats made with milk from cows from the farm will keep young and old waiting as Christmas approaches.
An Advent calendar made in Pays de Bray
“This is the third year we have offered our Advent calendars. The idea came to me like that. I make my children personalized calendars, so I thought why not make one with what we produce? “, explain Lucie Engérant, farmer with multiple hats.
“The only constraint we have is the size of the boxes in the packaging,” smiles Lucie.
Fresh truffles with farm butter, chocolates, meringues or other revisited recipes for holidays still manage to find their place there.
