It’s Christmas at Lagache with Fruit & Vegetables!
18 December 2025
At Lagache, whether we’re talking fruit or vegetables, the end of the year has a very special flavour. It’s a reminder of how lucky we are to work with products that are as beautiful as they are good, capable of delighting the taste buds as much as making the eyes sparkle.
At this time of year, the Carreau is a veritable invitation to discovery… Loïc and Antoine, responsible for vegetables and fruit respectively, tell us all about it:
Just like at home, when you’re preparing the Christmas tree and decorations, at Lagache the Carreau changes its face. There’s no need for tricks: the fruit and vegetables put on a show all on their own!
Mini vegetables get the ball rolling
Christmas is the time when the vegetable becomes the star ⭐
- Carmine endive, a deep, elegant red
- Green and yellow pâtissons, always noticed for their originality
- Carrots, round or elongated courgettes, irresistible in their miniature format
- Edible flowers for a chic, colourful touch
- And of course… truffles, the undisputed queen of the festive season
It’s a moment of discovery, as much for the eyes as for the taste buds.
To make life easier for you, all these little treasures are available in trays: small volumes, perfect for indulging, testing, daring… without hesitation.
An express and refined recipe idea
Roast baby vegetables: baby carrots, baby pumpkins and baby courgettes, roasted in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil, thyme, a little fleur de sel… and a few shavings of truffle just before serving. Simple, elegant and effective.
Fruit: the exotic is in!
At Christmas, exotic fruits steal the show from other fruit families.
Their astonishing shapes, bright colours and surprising textures bring a real wow factor to the table.
The must-haves of the moment :
- Litchi, in season
- Carambola, perfect for creating pretty stars
- Physalis, as decorative as it is delicious
These fruits have a fourfold Christmas mission: to decorate – to delight – to be discovered – to be talked about.
In terms of nuggets, we’re talking about exotic “niche” citrus fruits: caviar lemon, citron, Buddha hand, yuzu, etc.
Sold individually or in bulk for special occasions, these Japanese-flavoured wonders are 100% French and come straight from Mont Ventoux.
Festive recipe idea
Exotic fruit tartar with yuzu: lychee, mango, citrus fruit, yuzu zest and a few grains of lemon caviar for a burst of freshness at the end of the meal.
And let’s not forget: a beautiful fruit basket is also a magnificent gift idea, gourmet, colourful and full of meaning.
The whole Lagache team wishes you all the very best for the festive season and lots of tasty treats to share!
