Did you know we sell more than just French pastries? We also have a whole line of jams, candies, and other French goodies!
Today’s post is all about our jam. ❤️
We carry Bonne Maman jams in flavors you don’t typically find here in the U.S. — chestnut, mandarin, black cherry, mirabelle plum, fig, and quince. We also have blackcurrant and apricot & lavender from another French brand.
These aren’t unusual or “fancy” flavors in France. They’re the kinds of jams you’ll find on breakfast tables all over the country.
Jam is a big part of French breakfast — spread on bread, paired with a buttery croissant, or enjoyed with a little butter underneath. And then there’s le goûter — the traditional afternoon snack around 4pm, when kids (and adults!) often have pretty much the same thing they had for breakfast. 😋
Another difference? French bread and pastries aren’t overly sweet. Bread is generally unsweetened or only lightly sweetened, and even croissants are much less sweet than many pastries here.
So if you’ve been eyeing those jars of jam on our shelves… this is your sign to try one. ❤️
We highly recommend it with a real French butter croissant. 😉
