Based in the south of France, L'Épicurien crafts exceptional pantry staples using traditional French techniques. To make their juicy, just-sweet-enough Black Cherry Confit, they forego modern, large-scale processes for small batches and copper cauldrons. The result is a flavor much closer to homemade. It’s jammy with large bites of black cherry throughout. Beyond your morning toast, it tastes meant-to-be with a buttery sheep’s milk cheese like Tomme de Brebis.
“Some might call me a jam snob, so trust me when I say this confit is a must-have. My favorite thing is to add a dollop on top of a (heaping) scoop of vanilla ice cream. Or a piece of Delice, a cheese that eats like ice cream.”
Black Cherries (47%), Sugars extracted from Fruit, Cane Sugar, White Wine, Concentrated Lemon Juice, Fruit Pectin
- L'Épicurien was founded in Paris in 1982 when expert jam-maker Bernard Le Gulvout opened a deli to sell his sweet and savory spreads.
- Le Gulvout relied on traditional small-batch cooking techniques like the use of open copper cauldrons.
- This allowed him to adjust each batch as needed.
- The company began partnering with local producers in the 1990s when they moved to Le Bosc in the south of France.
- In the 2000s, he was joined by his two nephews, Xavier and Benoit, growing the company while maintaining sense of tradition.
