On the path of flavors in Lamastre

Service Description

Embark on a gourmet getaway to discover two exceptional artisans who enhance natural flavors with authenticity and expertise. This outing takes you to the heart of Lamastre, where Yann, from Songes & Cacao, and Thomas, from La Fabrique de Thom, will open the doors of their workshops for a unique moment of discussion and tasting. The experience begins with Songes & Cacao, an artisanal chocolate maker committed to the "bean-to-bar" movement, where each bar is made from unroasted cocoa beans, thus preserving all their aromatic and nutritional qualities. Yann will reveal his work with rare and ancestral varieties and explain his approach, which respects both the environment and humanity. You will have the opportunity to taste a uniquely intense chocolate, vegan, lactose-free, and sweetened with coconut blossom, which reinvents the original taste of cocoa. The sensory journey continues with La Fabrique de Thom, an artisanal biscuit factory where each ingredient is carefully selected and sourced locally and organically. Thomas will immerse you in the world of his creations: salted butter shortbread, reimagined canistrelli, generous cookies, and gluten-free biscuits made with traditional flours. He will share with you his passion for breadmaking and his commitment to ethical production, highlighting farm-grown wheat flours and recipes with reduced sugar to fully express the natural flavors. Throughout this immersion, you will discover two complementary approaches to taste and the processing of raw materials, where passion and craftsmanship combine to offer exceptional products. This tour will conclude with a tasting of raw chocolates and artisanal biscuits, a perfect combination for lovers of sweet treats and authentic products. What's included in this experience: • Guidance from an experienced guide, who will share their knowledge of the region and its treasures. • A helmet for your safety. • A water bottle to keep you hydrated throughout the ride. Optional: • The option to rent a mountain bike or electric bike if you don't own one. This outing is an invitation to discover local expertise, blending traditions and culinary innovations. Join us for a moment of sharing and delicious food at Songes & Cacao and La Fabrique de Thom.
