Jams, pleasures with multiple virtues

While jams are sweet, they are much less caloric than traditional spreads. Containing no fat, they only require the sugar essential for fruit preservation. An excellent alternative for gourmet moments without excess!

In addition, these jarred delights allow you to savor fruits out of season. Thanks to these preserves, enjoy strawberries in the middle of winter without resorting to imports or energy-intensive greenhouses. You can thus benefit from their many advantages every day. Moreover, originally, jams were considered "lickable medicines" (lestuaire). In the Middle Ages, this preparation was prescribed by apothecaries and was among the rare products only the privileged could afford.

Today, jam is an everyday ally. It is a good source of energy that accompanies a beautiful morning, giving a boost to those who love sweet breakfasts. For an afternoon snack, a slice of toast with artisan jam gives us the little kick we need to get through the rest of the day. In addition, the fruits it contains are rich in fiber, essential minerals (like potassium), and antioxidants. Thus, jam has its place in a balanced diet. And when it's prepared with quality fruits, it's even better.

Jams made with local Ardèche fruits

We offer jams from local producers who use fruits harvested in the region:

• Drôme Apricots

• Isère Strawberries

• Wild Blueberries and Burlat Cherries, picked in the commune of La Souche, in the heart of Ardèche.

Local sourcing eliminates transport, thus making it possible to pick fruits at their peak ripeness. This detail is a huge asset for the quality of jams: their texture, taste, and the intensity of their fragrance are much better.

Our catalog includes classic jams that are enjoyed all year round, and others that are more original to create even more authentic moments of delight.

Classic jams: reliable choices

Among the traditional jams we offer:

• Seeded blackberry jam: bramble fruits are particularly rich in manganese, potassium, and flavonoids. These elements contribute to good bone health, as well as protecting our body against premature aging thanks to their antioxidant action. By spreading this jam, you anticipate a double pleasure: that of tasting, and the satisfaction of working for your long-term vitality.

• Seedless strawberry jam and raspberry jam: these sweet red fruits are a true regressive pleasure, and these jams take us back to the best seasons of our lives. Like Proust's famous madeleine, they can awaken many memories while comforting our taste buds!

• Wild blueberry jam: this small mountain fruit grows wild, but its cultivation requires a lot of maintenance. Producers must clear the land to allow them to grow peacefully, and harvesting also requires meticulous work. In this wild blueberry jam, you will find the aromatic quintessence of the Ardèche mountains, enhanced by the passion of the people who care for the plants.

Original jams: for varied pleasures

Would you like to taste other flavors, both sweet and bold? Our catalog also includes original jams, with delicious mixes:

• Strawberry and basil jam: basil brings a fresh and slightly spicy aroma to strawberries, very pleasant on the palate. Excellent for accompanying a slice of wholemeal bread or for garnishing your favorite desserts and snacks (madeleines, muffins, tarts).

• Apricot and almond jam: a beautiful and very fragrant combination, perfect for your pastries as well as your verrines. It's a pure wonder on crêpes and waffles.

• Fig and walnut jam: the original flavor of fig harmonizes with the buttery taste of walnuts. You can enjoy the jam as is to savor its delicious taste, use it to fill crêpes and toast, or serve it with fromage blanc or a scoop of ice cream.

Traditional artisanal manufacturing

Our jams are made in an artisanal workshop, rooted in the Ardèche terroir. Each product is prepared according to old recipes, with fruits cooked in limited quantities in copper cauldrons. Our producers use only natural ingredients and traditional methods, without using colorants or chemical additives to enhance the taste of the jams: every bite is authentic, a true concentrate of pleasure made from ripe fruit and ancestral know-how.
