2821 FRANCE (Grand Est) - Tarte aux myrtilles


In France, the tarte aux myrtilles (the bilberry pie) or the tarte aux bleuets (the blueberry pie) is a seasonal dessert, in particular in mountainous areas where blueberries grow. In the Vosges Mountains it is called tarte aux brimbelles, and is the favorite dessert of the hostel farms. It is cooked at home as well as by professional pastry chefs and served at home and in the restaurant. It is available ready to use in bakeries, pastry shops and supermarkets. It is also a traditional dish in Finland, United States and Canada. Blueberry pie made with wild Maine blueberries is the official state dessert of the U.S. state of Maine.
