Gourmet product lovers rejoice: there are now three locations of Les Trois Etoiles in Paris, Eze Village, and their original shop in Saint Paul-de-Vence, France.

Since 1998, Gisela and Horst Zischek have been enticing visitors to their charming specialty shop Les Trois Etoiles in Saint Paul-de-Vence, France, which I discovered several years ago on one of my trips to the medieval village. Whenever I travel to the South of France, I always stop at Les Trois Etoiles to stock up on their excellent selection of interesting liqueurs, eaux de vie, specialty oils, and handmade vinegars.

Now, in addition to the Saint Paul-de-Vence shop, they have opened two additional shops, Les Trois Etoiles du Marais in Paris and Les Trois Etoiles in Eze Village, providing two new reasons to travel to Paris and Eze Village.

Parisians and visitors alike will enjoy the convenient location of Les Trois Etoiles du Marais in Paris at 21 bis de Rivoli. The attractive Provencal yellow building holds a world of exotic tastes inside the pretty shop featuring artisanal products.

Les Trois Etoiles is all about quality from the high standard of their liqueurs, eaux de vie, oils, and vinegars, to the large selection of decorative bottles available. Their products have won many awards, including prestigious NASFT awards (National Association for the Specialty Food Trade).

As a chef, home cook, or bar chef, Les Trois Etoiles specialty products open up a world of possibilities. They have a wide selection of vinegars and oils that should be considered definite "must haves" in your pantry, as they are in mine. I especially love their Huile de Noisette (Hazelnut oil), Huile de Truffes (Truffle oil), and Pumpkin Seed oil, which I use to cook with, to create interesting sauces and vinaigrettes, and drizzle in my soups for a luxury finish. Other delicious oils include Olive, Garlic, and Walnut.  

Horst is always creating new vinegars, which I look forward to sampling like a child in a candy store. In addition to their Garlic, Raspberry, Sherry, Balsamic, and Lavender vinegars, he has created three new delectable vinegars: Apricot, Fig, and Mango. 

Their wide selection of liqueurs and eaux de vie will have bar chefs dreaming over new cocktail ideas, and chefs creating heavenly new savory and dessert recipes. I love to let my imagination go wild creating new recipes from their interesting selection of Calvados, Armagnac "Château de Valles", Marc de Provence, Vielle Prune, Aged Plum, Yellow Plum, Crème de Poire, Cherry, Coffee, Raspberry, Crème de Fig, Blueberry, Honey, Crème de Prune, Blackcurrent, Wild Strawberry, Orange, Rêve d'Hiver (made with Cherries, Prunes, Cinnamon, Ginger, and Blackberry), and Crème de Noël. Les Trois Etoiles has also recently added Mango and Creamy Limoncello to their extensive selection.

Another reason why I like Les Trois Etoiles is that you can sample the products before you purchase them, which I especially enjoy. This way, I can make sure that I stock up on my new favorite finds. Les Trois Etoiles products packaged in your choice of decorative bottles also make wonderful gifts.

The next time you visit Paris, Eze Village, or Saint Paul-de-Vence, be sure and stop by Les Trois Etoiles; you may just find me there browsing and sampling my way thorough the shop. Les Trois Etoiles also ships their products, so if a trip is not in the immediate future, you can still enjoy their tempting products.
