François Doucet Lavender Honey Fruit Jellies: A French Confectionery Delight
A Symphony of Taste and Tradition: François Doucet's Lavender Honey Fruit Jellies are not just candies but a celebration of French confectionery tradition. These translucent, jewel-like gelled candies, historically known as “dry jam,” offer a unique sensory experience. Made with a high percentage of fruit puree and pulp (51%), they boast a bright fruitiness distinct from typical supermarket jellies. Their higher moisture content ensures a soft, pleasant texture, while the light sugar coating adds a delicate crunch without stickiness.
An Artisanal Creation with Provencal Flavors: These jellies' uniqueness lies in their use of rare and delicate lavender honey from Provence, which adds a subtle floral note that complements the fruitiness. François Doucet, continuing a family tradition that dates back to his great-grandfather in France's Auvergne region, crafts these pâte de fruits with skill and passion, making them a true confectionery masterpiece.
