Maison Andrésy Confitures: French gourmet heritage as a driver of innovation

Awarded the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label since 2012, Maison Andrésy is officially recognized for its rare artisanal expertise in jam, fruit preserves for cheese, and traditional French-style confits.
Slow-cooked in copper cauldrons, made with carefully sourced fruit, expertly balanced textures and custom recipes for iconic chefs and brands — jam at Maison Andrésy is more than a product: it’s a living piece of culinary heritage.
Among our longstanding clients: Paul Bocuse, Lenôtre, La Grande Épicerie de Paris, and the chefs of the Collège Culinaire de France.

Our collection includes:
- Traditional fig or onion confits
- Fruit blends with spices and herbs like cherry with Espelette pepper or fig with walnut
