Deborah Lloyd kate spade creative director says, “I love to entertain around the holiday – this package is such a quick and easy way to entertain with style without a lot of fuss.” We’ve paired our favorite French cheeses— buttery Cremeux d’Argental; snackable Comte St. Antoine and rich Fourme d’Aigle—with additional Gallic pleasures—savory Saucisson Sec and crunchy cornichons. And, since we’re Brooklyn-based Francophiles (who love beer), we had to include grain beer mustard, made in our neighborhood.
Here's what you get:
- Select assortment with or without gift crate
- One 7 oz jar of Beaufor Mustard
- One 12.35 oz jar of Cornichons
- ½ lb of Cremeux d'Argental cheese
- ½ lb of Comte St. Antoine cheese
- ½ lb of Fourme d'Aigle cheese
- 1 Saucisson Sec

A.O.C.
Name protection was designated by the European Union as a way for producers of traditional food products to band together and market more efficiently. In France, these products are denoted as A.O.C (translating to Appellation of Controlled Origin). Cheeses listed as A.O.C. honor centuries of cheesemaking tradition. Each designation of origin is tied to a specific geographic location and allots only producers who follow strict guidelines to grace their products with the coveted A.O.C. titles. Among France’s most famous A.O.C. offerings is Comte St. Antoine—made exclusively in the Jura Alpine region—and paired best with the funky, oxidized white wines born in the same place.
