Maison Perrotte Provence Fig Jam

Tasting Notes of the Curator

Maison Perrotte’s Provence Fig Jam is a celebration of the Mediterranean sun. You taste it immediately—the figs are plump, naturally sweet, and subtly caramelised, offering a texture that strikes the perfect balance between silky preserve and tender fruit pieces. The flavour opens with deep honeyed notes, followed by a gentle floral warmth that is unmistakably Provençal. The natural seeds from the figs give a soft crunch, adding character without overwhelming the palate.

This jam is more than sweetness—it carries a rounded, almost wine-like depth from the figs’ natural sugars, intensified by slow cooking. There’s a whisper of earthiness, a hint of late-summer heat, and a long, luxurious finish that lingers. Spread on toast, paired with cheese, or folded into desserts, it instantly elevates the dish with its elegant, fruit-forward richness.

A Jar of Provençal Heritage

Figs are among Provence’s most treasured fruits, ripening under long days of Mediterranean sun and cooled by gentle mistral winds. Maison Perrotte continues this regional tradition with artisanal craftsmanship—small-batch cooking, minimal processing, and a deep respect for natural fruit flavour. This jam carries the soul of the south of France: rustic orchards, stone-farm kitchens, and the timeless pleasure of simple ingredients done exceptionally well. It’s the kind of preserve that turns everyday meals into small moments of indulgence.
