 Why liven up your jam assortment and menus for the spring season?

Think you don’t need to change your jam assortment for spring? Or adding condiments and preserves to your menus? Think again!

Spring events are the perfect way to leave your hotel and restaurant customers with a special memory:

  • There are opportunities to attract tourists, and visitors from other countries, who will seek out new flavors and discover the culinary “made in France”. Some towns welcome many visitors in excellent spirits, ready to consume, thanks to festivals, carnivals, trade fairs and so on.
  • Easter is a great time for families to get together for breakfast or a family meal in coffee-shops  or restaurants at any time of day.
  • It’s the perfect way to make the most of weekends: we take the time to have a good breakfast – in a gourmet way! – and enjoy long meals together.

At Maison Andrésy, we’ll be happy to give you some ideas for a range of products to use at the breakfast buffet, or at meals and brunches, using frenchproducts, of course!

Why not opt for seasonal fruit?

For some time now, seasonal produce has been a concern for restaurant customers – and chefs!

Jam is made so that fruit harvested in spring and summer can be enjoyed all year round. The constraints of the seasons therefore don’t apply, and at the same time it’s a great opportunity to liven up your offers and renew your assortment!

For your hotels and restaurants in spring, here is the assortment based on seasonal fruits to have for the breakfast buffet:

  • Strawberry, raspberry and cherry jams,
  • Honey,
  • And a chocolate spread

All in individual jars to avoid food waste and promote choice, while avoiding hygiene concerns!

Of course, if you prefer to serve in a dish, we also make jars in 500g or kilo size!

In spring, chocolate is the star of the assortment!

With Easter, chocolate in all its forms is in the spotlight this spring.

Here’s a gourmet idea for your breakfast or brunch buffets in hotels, restaurantsand coffee-shops:

  • chocolate powder: in individual pouches for table service, or in kilo boxes for preparation at the bar or in the kitchen.

Our chocolate powder is made from excellent cocoa, cane sugar and a hint of vanilla, and that’s all there is to it!

  • our hazelnut chocolate spread, baked in a copper basin with a milk base, no palm oil or added vegetable fat: in individual jars for the table or in grocery size for brunches and desserts.
