CŒUR DE QUICHE AUX PETITS LARDONS
The Product
A heart-shaped quiche generously studded with savory lardons — small batons of cured pork — baked in a golden, buttery pastry crust. This ready-to-enjoy creation from Maison Loste combines the comfort of classic French quiche with premium charcuterie, creating a perfect union of pastry and pork.
Origin & Terroir
Quiche Lorraine, the ancestor of this creation, hails from the Lorraine region of northeastern France. The addition of lardons is the defining characteristic that distinguishes true Quiche Lorraine from its many variations. Maison Loste's version honors this tradition with their signature cured pork, baked into an elegant heart shape.
How to Enjoy
Serve warm or at room temperature as a starter, light lunch, or part of a buffet. Pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad dressed in Dijon vinaigrette. A glass of Alsatian Riesling or a light Pinot Gris makes an ideal accompaniment. The heart shape makes it perfect for special occasions.
Did You Know?
The word 'quiche' comes from the German 'Kuchen' (cake), reflecting Lorraine's position on the French-German border. The original Quiche Lorraine contained only eggs, cream, and lardons — cheese was a later addition. The heart-shaped 'cœur' format is a modern French innovation that has become a beloved presentation style.
