Violets from Tourrettes

La Confiserie Florian has been working closely with Marcel Quentin for the last 30 years. Located in Tourrettes-sur-Loup, just a few kilometres from the Confiserie, M. Quentin’s violet fields cover 2 acres. “Each year our Confiserie receives between 200 and 300 kg of violets which are transformed into preserves and crystallised flowers by our talented confectioners."

Violet delight: a little jar that makes a big impression
Even before the lid is lifted, the charm begins to work its magic. This dainty glass jar, delicately faceted, reveals violet petals suspended in their sugary cocoon. It’s like a miniature bouquet, captured at the height of spring. No need for a shouty label. This artisanal violet delight presents itself with quiet elegance, like a subtle preserve, a whispered promise at tea time. And let’s be honest, who could resist showing it off on a shelf or in a cheeky Instagram story.

Fresh flowers, precise gestures
In season, early each morning, violets arrive still kissed with dew, hand picked by local growers who know their fragrance like the back of their hand. In the confiserie’s workshop, it’s not about production. It’s about creation. Every movement is precise, almost choreographed. Petals are gently infused, aromas released, and sugar wraps around it all without ever overpowering the floral delicacy. This isn’t just making artisanal violet jam. It’s composing a fragrance.

A scent that escapes into the street
As it cooks, the air around the confiserie becomes an olfactory invitation. Passers by slow down, neighbours open their windows, and some linger a little longer. This isn’t just jam. It’s an atmosphere. A breath of spring that drifts through the alleyways, making you want to spread poetry on a slice of brioche. Warning, high risk of sensory addiction…

A rare pleasure, meant to be savoured slowly
Artisanal violet jam isn’t something you slap on toast in a rush. It’s savoured like a fine wine or a well played piece of theatre. Slowly, curiously, with a hint of indulgence. On a warm crêpe, in plain yoghurt, or even straight from the spoon (no judgement here), it reveals its floral nuances and delicate texture. It’s a quiet luxury, a sweet fantasy that turns small moments into lasting memories.
