Introducing the ‘Puits d’Amour’ jam, a gourmet treasure unearthed by Confiture Parisienne and exclusively available at Chez Roger. This extraordinary preserve is a testament to the enduring allure of French pâtisserie and a perfect gift for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
The History
Named after Louis XV's cherished mistress, Marquise de Pompadour, the 'Puits d’Amour' was once a well-kept secret. This luxurious dessert was filled with a jam so extraordinary, it was reputed to be unparalleled. As time passed, the original recipe was lost and replaced with a more common filling.
Parisian jam and Antoinette Poisson are linked by the original creation of a jam. In fact, Antoinette Poisson was the real name of Marquise de Pompadour, the Favorite (official mistress) of Louis XV, who commissioned his finest pastry chefs to create the most delectable dessert especially for her.
This dessert was the "Puits d'Amour," a cake that held at its core the finest jam of its time. The secret of the original recipe was lost as the Puits d'Amour came to be made with classic pastry cream. It remained forgotten until Confiture Parisienne unearthed the secret of this magnificent recipe, which had not been altered since the time of Louis XV.
Confiture Parisienne has embarked on a mission to revive this forgotten delicacy. After meticulous research, they have successfully recreated the ‘Puits d’Amour’ confiture using a blend of currant, raspberry, and violet. The result is a harmonious symphony of flavours that is as enchanting as its history.
