Charlotte gave my friends and me the most special and unique sorbet and olive oil tasting we could have imagined. The variety of olive oils was fantastic, and easily the best any of us had ever tried - and that’s saying something with a few cooks in the group! Charlotte was also incredibly knowledgeable, sharing so much about the olive trees, each oil we tried, and its origins. The setting itself was unforgettable, the olive grove and beautifully arranged table made the experience feel even more special. The sorbet and ice cream selection her husband made was truly next level, and some of the most delicious desserts I’ve ever had. We could not stop talking about the strawberry sorbet for the rest of the trip. Nothing else we tasted afterward even came close to this experience. An absolute highlight we’ll never forget!
Spending the afternoon with Gerald in his kitchen was a highlight of our trip! We made the green sauce as soon as we got home, and it was a great success. As we adjusted the flavor we kept adding to the quantity, so our first batch was big enough to feed an army! We found some of the giant white asparagus, which was delicious, but here in the States it is worth its weight in gold—even at today’s high gold prices. "Thank you for sharing your home with us. It was a wonderful experience, and a real pleasure to get to know you. I hope the next time we are in France, we will also meet your wife and family."
