Maison Brémond Assorted Fruit Jellies

Tasting Notes of the Curator

These fruit jellies are a refined expression of French confectionery, crafted the old way at Confiserie Leblanc in Banon, Haute-Provence. The texture is gorgeously tender: yielding at the bite, then melting slowly into a fragrant, fruit-forward sweetness. They’re cooked in copper cauldrons with fruit, cane sugar, and fruit pectin—no shortcuts, no artificial flavours—allowing each square to shine with clean, honest fruit character.

The raspberry variety is bright and lively, offering a tart lift that wakes the palate. Pear is delicate and floral, almost perfumed, with a natural roundness that feels refreshing. Apricot leans rich and golden, evoking warm Provençal orchards at peak summer. Fig from Haut Var is deeper, jammy, and textured, carrying subtle earthy notes that pair beautifully with cheese or dark chocolate.

This assortment is not overly sweet; it’s balanced, elegant, and deeply flavorful. Each piece feels like a little square of fruit harvested at its best moment.

A Provençal Craft Passed Down

These pâte de fruits are produced using traditional confectionery techniques preserved in the heart of Haute-Provence. At Confiserie Leblanc, fruit pulp, cane sugar, and pectin are heated gently in large cauldrons, then the cooked mixture is poured, dried, and cut by hand using metal frames—just as artisans have done for generations.

Each square reflects the flavours of the region: raspberries from the French countryside, pears from Haute-Provence, sun-drenched apricots from Provence, and figs grown in the Haut Var. This heritage is not only culinary but cultural—pâte de fruits were historically crafted to preserve the bounty of summer, making every piece a small tribute to seasonal abundance and the craft of French confiseurs.
