SPC Group Paris Baguette Launches Gyeongsan Jujube 'Chuseok Gift Set'

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] SPC Group's Paris Baguette announced on the 24th that it will launch gift sets containing wishes for health and the meaning of coexistence in celebration of Chuseok.

The Chuseok gift sets add the meaning of coexistence with farmers by utilizing high-quality jujubes from Gyeongsan, Gyeongsangbuk-do. Gyeongsan jujubes have geographical and climatic characteristics ideal for jujube cultivation, such as fertile sandy soil and abundant sunlight, resulting in large, glossy fruits with a healthy sweetness. Paris Baguette plans to promote the excellence of domestic jujubes and their diverse uses to meet changing consumer tastes by incorporating jujubes, which are not commonly used, into bakery products.

The representative products feature a subtle sweetness and savory texture by using Gyeongsan jujubes and walnuts. These include the ‘Jujube Walnut Pound Cake,’ which combines moist pound cake with the sweet taste of ripe Gyeongsan jujubes and the nuttiness of walnuts; the ‘Jujube Walnut Pie,’ topped with sweet Gyeongsan jujubes on a savory walnut pie; the ‘Jujube Walnut Madeleine,’ which adds flavor and fun with sweet Gyeongsan jujubes and the savory texture of walnuts inside soft madeleines; and the ‘Manwolbbang Jujube Walnut Sandwich’ in the ‘Manwolbbang’ (Full Moon Bread), symbolizing wishes for family health and fortune while viewing the full moon, which contains mild white bean paste, subtly sweet Gyeongsan jujubes, and savory walnuts.

They also introduced various gift sets filled with a variety of bakery items. These include the ‘Gratitude Heart Traditional Set,’ richly composed of sweet manjoo, monaka to be made at home, and four-flavored yanggaeng; the ‘Time’s Devotion Jin Collection,’ which includes red bean paste Manwolbbang made with 9 hours of care, premium Jin Castella made with 100-day aged flour, black tea madeleines, and limited edition jujube walnut madeleines; and the ‘Whole Red Bean Manjoo Set,’ consisting of whole red bean manjoo that preserves the original taste and texture of red beans and the luxurious Honey Ginseng Red Bean Manjoo made with steamed and dried 6-year-old Punggi ginseng.
