Blackcurrant Extra Jam

Alain Milliat – Blackcurrant Extra Jam – 230g

Alain Milliat's Cassis Extra Jam is a French blackcurrant jam, made from French Cassis Noir. With 63% fruit content, it is intensely fruity and not too sweet, creamy in consistency, and intensely fragrant with the juicy, ripe fruits of this special blackcurrant variety: the Cassis Noir de Bourgogne.

Alain Milliat only processes carefully selected fruits, which – and the Frenchman attaches great importance to this – have been harvested at the right moment of ripeness, because this is how they develop their full aromatic flavor, which is found in the blackcurrant jam. This intensely black-blue jam seduces with its creamy texture with blackcurrant pieces and the aromas of very ripe fruits and its wonderful acidity.

Blackcurrant Jam by Alain Milliat

Alain Milliat, grandson and son of a farmer, and a fruit farmer himself, took over the family business in Orliénas near Lyon in 1983. For 15 years, he respectfully cared for the land entrusted to him and grew the best fruit, especially a particularly sought-after cherry variety. In 1997, Maison Alain Milliat started the project of producing high-quality juices for gourmets. Alain sent the first six juices and nectars to 60 restaurants from the Relais & Châteaux guide and eagerly awaited the sommeliers' reactions to his creations. And they were enthusiastic. This great idea allows him to adapt the textures, sugar-acid balances, and colors of his juices to the needs of the restaurants. Driven by his success with the gourmet restaurants, with whom he still works today, the passionate producer constantly develops new juices and nectars from special, hand-picked fruits, which offer unique taste experiences. Anyone who makes such good juice also places great importance on high quality in marmalades and jams, as with this Cassis Extra Jam. Today, Alain Milliat buys his fruits throughout France and beyond, always at their optimal ripeness.
