Maison Perrotte Orange Maltaise Jam

Maison Perrotte’s Orange Maltaise Jam is a burst of pure Mediterranean sunshine. Maltaise oranges are celebrated across France for their exceptional juiciness and balanced flavour: sweeter than traditional bitter oranges yet still carrying the lively acidity that makes citrus preserves irresistible. As you open the jar, a bright wave of orange zest, floral notes, and honeyed citrus rises immediately—fresh, elegant, and unmistakably gourmet.

On the palate, it unfolds in beautiful layers. The first impression is vivid—clean, tangy citrus that awakens the senses. Then the flavour melts into a soft, naturally sweet roundness reminiscent of freshly squeezed juice. Tender shreds of zest run through the jam, adding delicate bitterness and texture for perfect harmony. The finish is refreshing and long, a signature of exceptional fruit handled with meticulous craftsmanship.

It’s no surprise that this jam was honoured with a Great Taste Award in 2022, a recognition reserved for products that showcase remarkable flavour, balance, and quality. Orange Maltaise stands proudly among them—a citrus preserve that feels both rustic and refined.

The Maltaise orange has long been a treasured varietal in Provence and along the Mediterranean coast—beloved for its intense aroma, vivid zest, and abundant juice. Maison Perrotte preserves this heritage through small-batch, artisanal cooking that respects the fruit’s natural brilliance. The result is a jam that captures everything beautiful about French winter citrus: market stalls filled with fragrant oranges, morning sun glinting off peels, and the comforting ritual of homemade preserves.

Its Great Taste 2022 accolade further affirms what each spoonful reveals—pure craftsmanship, exceptional fruit, and the warmth of Provence distilled into a single jar.
