Handmade bergamot jam

A singularly charming artisanal bergamot jam

The artisanal bergamot jam is an invitation to explore a rare fruit, halfway between bitter orange and lemon. This hybrid gem, with its intense fragrance and subtle bitterness, is elevated by the century-old expertise of Confiserie Florian. Since 1921, its Pont-du-Loup workshops have transformed delicate fruits into exceptional jams, where each jar becomes a masterpiece of taste.

Often associated with Earl Grey tea, bergamot here unveils a novel side: slowly candied with sugar, pectin, and a touch of citric acid, it reveals a complex aromatic palette—floral, tangy, and lightly woody. The result? A refined jam, bold yet balanced, that delights palates in search of unique sensations.

A jam that reinvents gourmet moments

Artisanal bergamot jam is not content with simply enhancing breakfast. It boldly ventures into sweet and savory creations: atop a citrus tart, in a foie gras crumble, or as a finishing touch on roasted veal, it brings a unique gustatory signature.

Its gentle bitterness and intense aroma make it a prime condiment for those who appreciate subtle contrasts. It pairs beautifully with fromage blanc, plain yogurt, or vanilla panna cotta. For the more daring, it can become the secret ingredient in a gin-based cocktail or a plated dessert with Mediterranean accents.

Gourmet connoisseurs agree: “extremely fragrant,” “the Rolls-Royce of jams,” “a true pleasure for the taste buds”… This rare jam is praised for its finesse and bold character.

A jewel of tradition for lovers of rare flavors

Presented in an elegant 240g jar, artisanal bergamot jam is much more than a product—it’s a love letter to taste and craftsmanship. It embodies a discreet form of luxury, one that values quality, origin, and the artisan’s hand.

It reflects a mindful consumption approach, where pleasure rhymes with precision and responsibility.

To offer this jam is to share a sensory emotion, a fragment of terroir elevated by artisanal savoir-faire. It also means introducing a little-known fruit with exceptional taste potential, in a handcrafted version that honors its true nature.

Preservation for lasting pleasure

Like all high-quality artisanal jams, the bergamot variety is easy to preserve with a few simple habits. Unopened, it will keep for several months in a cool, dry, dark place, a cupboard or pantry works perfectly.

Once opened, it should be stored in the refrigerator at around 4°C (39°F), tightly sealed. Thanks to its high sugar content—which acts as a natural preservative—it can be enjoyed over several weeks. To preserve its subtle aromas and silky texture, it’s best to use a clean spoon each time to prevent contamination.

When properly stored, it remains delicious until the final spoonful: its fragrance doesn’t fade, it evolves. A true luxury to savor slowly.
