Confiture Parisienne Mara des Bois Strawberry, Marmande Tomato, & Basil Jam

Tasting Notes from the Curator

In the realm of Confiture Parisienne, the Mara des Bois Strawberry, Marmande Tomato, & Basil jam is a masterpiece, a culmination of method and imagination. The Mara des Bois strawberries impart a sweet, enchanting perfume—nature’s own symphony—echoing the ambrosial essence of wild strawberries yet emboldened by the whisper of tangy sophistication. The Marmande tomato contributes an earthy robustness, a grounding flavor that serves as a canvas for the strawberries’ vibrancy. Subtle yet complex, the herbal notes of basil emerge delicately, introducing a fresh, peppery quality that intertwines gracefully with the fruit’s natural sweetness. Less is indeed more with the restrained use of unrefined cane sugar, bowing to the primary flavors and allowing them to converse without encumbrance. Moreover, the graciously spoonable texture—thanks to a certain alchemy achieved in the traditional copper cauldrons of Paris—harmonizes the integrity of fruit pieces and smooth spreadability, ensuring a luxuriant consistency that delivers pure, undiluted delight with each taste.
