Maison Perrotte Gariguette Strawberry Jam
Spring’s Finest Berry, Captured in a Jar
Tasting Notes of the Curator
Maison Perrotte’s Gariguette Strawberry Jam is an ode to the strawberry at its most beautiful. Gariguettes are known for their elongated shape, vivid scarlet hue, and intoxicating aroma—fragrant, floral, and delicately sweet. In this jam, those qualities translate into a preserve that tastes like the first warm days of spring.
The flavour opens with lively brightness: fresh strawberry acidity that immediately awakens the palate. This is followed by a natural, honeyed sweetness that never feels heavy or syrupy. The texture is silky with tender fruit pieces, allowing the strawberries to shine through without being overshadowed by sugar. Each spoonful carries a gentle perfume—floral, almost wild—balanced by a clean, refreshing finish. It’s a jam that feels both nostalgic and refined, perfect for those who appreciate fruit-led preserves with genuine character.
