On what criteria was the jam producer Andrésy Confitures chosen once again by the chefs and restaurateurs of the Culinary College of France ?

Since 1952, the jam producer Andrésy Confitures has worked in the tradition of French jams : in a copper cauldron, with cane sugar, and the best fruits selected from the best terroirs.

For all these years, the jam producer has therefore had the opportunity to provide his recipes for breakfasts at the finest palaces and 5 * hotels, as well as to produce on private label for renowned French chefs and brands.

Joining the Culinary College of France was therefore obvious!

Yet the jam producer had to comply with the exercise of the approval of his know-how and practices by the members of the Culinary College of France.

They observed and approved:

• The selection of varieties and origins of fruit at more than 70% France
• the traditional method of cooking in copper cauldrons, in small quantities, with steam to respect the fruits
• Cane sugar candy, according to the French gastronomic tradition
• The expertise of a supple and creamy texture of jam, pleasant to spread and to taste
• The rigor of quality controls and food safety training for all Andrésy Confitures teams

In 2020, this will be the 4th year that your jam producer Andrésy Confitures has been selected by the Culinary College of France. A great pride to participate in traditional French gastronomy!
