Strawberries · rare
Mara des Bois
from our plotA French perpetual variety that tastes like wild strawberries but is the size of a cultivated one. Produces from June until the first frost, which means months of berries with that intense, musky, woodland flavour. The one that strawberry snobs grow.
in the kitchen
Strawberry tart
Blind-bake a sweet pastry case, fill with creme patissiere, arrange whole berries on top. Glaze with warmed apricot jam. The intense flavour of Mara des Bois means each bite is concentrated strawberry. No need for anything else.
