Confiture Parisienne X Gilles Choukroun Apricot & Orange Blossom Jam
SKU: 54825
As September settles over Paris and the summer’s French apricots have finished their time in the copper kettle, a long-quiet recipe finally takes its place on the shelf. For its official launch this September, Confiture Parisienne unveils a new creation by chef Gilles Choukroun, inspired by the Mediterranean flavors of his childhood.
At the heart of the recipe lies a signature pairing by the chef—apricot and orange blossom—encapsulating the Mediterranean of his youth in a single jar. Whole pistachios and a few drops of olive oil play supporting roles, essential for adding depth. Confiture Parisienne crafted this jam over the summer using the finest French apricots picked at peak ripeness, officially unveiling it as the new season begins.
Cooked in copper kettles in small batches, following traditional methods. Made with unrefined cane sugar and 70% fruit. Contains no additives or preservatives.

Since ancient times, foodies have developed various recipes for preserving fruits by cooking them with wine or honey.
But to taste jams as we know them, you have to wait for the first crusades and the introduction of cane sugar from the Arab world. This luxury food allows the transformation of fruit into jam, only reserved for royal tables. At the beginning of the 19th century, the production of beet sugar democratized this product. In Paris, many jam makers opened their stalls and supplied themselves with fruit from the surrounding orchards.
