Holiday season is a time of giving, so why not give yourself the gift of some yummy delicacies via a French food delivery service? We find out more about Plantin Kaviari’s range of gourmet products from France, including caviar, truffles, foie gras, fresh meat and poultry, seafood, cheese, ham, wine and more – all available to order online for home delivery. Plus details of a special offer for Expat Living readers!
About Plantin Kaviari
Plantin Kaviari by Gourmet en Provence has been providing delicious French gastronomy to tables in Hong Kong since 2009. The name reflects two prominent family brands in France, each one a long-standing expert in a different gourmet ingredient: truffles from Plantin, and caviar from Kaviari.
And while we would never say no to truffles and caviar over the celebratory season (especially not after another difficult year for everyone!), Plantin Kaviari has a wide range of other special products in its online store. For example, preorders of fresh meat and poultry arrive twice weekly from France for delivery to HK doorsteps. The meat is selected by Boucheries Nivernaises, a famous Parisian butcher and proud supplier of the Élysée Palace, the official residence of the French President! Poultry is sourced from farmers in Bourgogne, a region renowned for the superior quality of its products.
You’ll also find signature “hibernated” meat by famous butcher Alexandre Polmard, cold cuts from the Basque Country, and cheese from Toulouse, as well as smoked salmon, Valrhona baking chocolate and treats, juices and nectars by Alain Milliat, and more.
