Strawberry Extra Jam

Alain Milliat – Strawberry Extra Jam

Alain Milliat's Strawberry Extra Jam is a French jam made from Senga Sengana strawberries. With 60% fruit content, it is intensely fruity and not too sweet, creamy in texture, and boasts an intense aroma of the juicy, ripe fruits of this special strawberry variety.

Alain Milliat only processes carefully selected fruits that – and the Frenchman places great importance on this – were harvested at the perfect ripening time. This ensures they develop their full aromatic flavor, which is reflected in the strawberry jam. This intensely red jam seduces with its creamy texture, strawberry pieces, and caramelized aromas.

Senga Sengana is a garden strawberry variety bred by Reinhold von Sengbusch around 1950 in Wulfsdorf near Hamburg, which is particularly suitable for preserving, but also for freezing. Its unique, strong strawberry aroma is enchanting.

Strawberry 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 tended to the land entrusted to him and cultivated the finest fruits, particularly a highly 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 collaborates today, the passionate producer continuously develops more juices and nectars from special, hand-picked fruits that offer unique taste experiences. Anyone who makes such good juice also values high quality in jams and preserves, as with this Strawberry Extra Jam. Today, Alain Milliat sources his fruits throughout France and beyond, always at their optimal ripeness.
