Comments about French Treasures Chest:

The company I work for received this as a Holiday Gift. We were totally clueless as to what wonderful tasting pleasures awaited us since we could not read French. All I can say is the ones who took the leap were greatly rewarded with the ultimate taste sensation. If you want to make a gift impression, send this one.

We gave this as a gift to my daughter and her husband for their first anniversary and they were just head-over-heels delighted! Their favorites were the Basque, Roquefort, and the Foie Gras. But everything was put to delicious use!
