Raspberry Mecker – Extra Jam

Alain Milliat – Raspberry Meeker Extra Jam – 300g

Alain Milliat's Framboise Meeker Extra Jam is a French raspberry jam. With 60% fruit content, it is intensely fruity and not too sweet, creamy in consistency, and intensely fragrant with juicy, ripe raspberries.

Alain Milliat only processes carefully selected fruits, and the Frenchman places particular emphasis on them being harvested at the perfect ripeness, because this is how they develop their full aromatic flavor, which is reflected in the raspberry jam.

The Meeker raspberries for this jam grow near Paris. The Rubus idaeus 'Meeker', bred in America in 1967, loves sunny, dry locations. Its fruits are optimally ripe when they can be easily picked by hand from the receptacle. The large fruits of the summer raspberry variety Meeker are perfectly suited for making jam. Their intense dark red color is also found in the Alain Milliat Framboise Meeker Raspberry Extra Jam. The seeds are deliberately not sieved out, as they are flavor carriers and the consistency of the jam would change significantly if they were sieved out.

Raspberry Jam by Alain Milliat

Alain Milliat, grandson and son of a farmer, and a fruit grower himself, took over the family business in Orliénas near Lyon in 1983. For 15 years, he respectfully tended the land entrusted to him and cultivated the best fruit, especially a particularly sought-after cherry variety. In 1997, Maison Alain Milliat launched the project to produce 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 that offer unique taste experiences. Someone who makes such good juice also places high value on quality for marmalades and jams, as with this Framboise Meeker Raspberry Extra Jam. Today, Alain Milliat buys his fruits throughout France and beyond, always at optimal ripeness.
