These small fruit tarts, nestled within delicate baked pastry shells, offer a delightful treat for your senses. Step into the world of currants and berries, fruits en baies, where the blackcurrant tree Ribes nigrum reigns supreme. In August 1890, an artist captured its beauty on paper through watercolor. The engraving titled "Cassis" transports us to a time when this delectable fruit was celebrated. Imagine savoring Dijon black currant cream as you admire its elegant label. This creamy delight perfectly complements the tangy sweetness of blackcurrants. Pomona Britannica showcases plump Dutch red and white currants alongside their darker counterpart in a vibrant color lithograph from centuries ago. Transport yourself further back in time with a 19th-century botanical board featuring a gooseberry—an enchanting relative of the blackcurrant family—captured meticulously by skilled hands. The versatility of blackcurrants shines through once more as they take center stage in still-life paintings adorning porcelain dishes and wooden boxes. Their deep purple hue adds richness to these artistic masterpieces that have stood the test of time. As you relish each bite of these small fruit tarts filled with luscious blackcurrants, let your imagination soar alongside Wenceslaus Hollar's depiction of a majestic griffin—a mythical creature symbolizing strength and power—created during his lifetime from 1625-77, and are not just mere fruits; they are ambassadors from history—a testament to nature's bounty and mankind's appreciation for their unique allure. So go ahead, indulge in these tantalizing treats and let your taste buds revel in the magic that is blackcurrant.
