Selection: 15 spreads to die for for Candlemas

In filled crepes, on waffles, or pancakes, the spread and jam will appeal to all gourmands. Creamy, rich in oilseeds or fruits, you can trust our selection to break records of deliciousness.

Quality spread

Too fatty, sugary, bad for the environment… Spreads have had a bad press for a long time. However, certain brands go out of their way to offer us products of very good composition, ethical, and delicious, which will fit perfectly into the most delicious crepe cakes. On the label side, this requires a good oilseed content – as an indication, the most famous spread contains only 13% hazelnuts – and the absence of palm oil. In terms of texture, whether crunchy or creamy, it should spread easily on the pancakes, without leaving an overly greasy feeling in the mouth.

For all tastes

There’s something for everyone, that’s why everyone loves spread. Some like it classic, with hazelnuts, others with pieces of caramel or sparkling sugar. We particularly love the three pistachios from Alléno & Rivoire, for pistachio addicts, or the crispy spread from La Grande Épicerie de Paris. On the fruit side too, we are not left out. Between yuzu and exotic fruits, Candlemas will be tangy!
