03 BEST OF THE LOT
Unlike the usual hyperbole-inspiring sweets such as chocolate, jam seems pedestrian – and something a european grandmother would make in her kitchen with surplus fruit. That’s until one mentions the preserves from “Jam fairy” Christine ferber. operating out of a tiny village in Alsace, france, the pastry chef attends to every single jar that passes through her kitchens. some end up in the hands of the best chefs around the world, including Alain ducasse, and – right here in singapore – Cheryl Koh. From Tarte by Cheryl Koh.
04 SUN-KISSED GROVES
Whoever came up with the phrase “you catch more flies with honey than vinegar” clearly never had a proper, aged balsamic vinegar. Sweet, rich, and startlingly complex, a few drops of this dark, viscous liquid will add a layer of depth and balanced sweetness to everything from pasta and cheese to fruit and even ice cream. The 25-Year-old Gold Label, produced by Il Borgo del Balsamico in Reggio emilia (northern Italy), is extracted after a minimum ageing process of 12 years from a variety of ancient wooden casks, including oak, juniper, and chestnut. From Preludio.
