Melon jam

Melon holds a special place at Lilamand. It is the emblematic fruit of our house and, in its candied form, has helped shape our reputation since 1866. Rediscovering it as a jam is a natural continuation of that story: the same fruit, the same exacting standards, but a different kind of pleasure.

This jam is prepared with 60% melon and cane sugar and cooked in an open copper pan using our traditional method. Slow, gradual evaporation concentrates the melon’s delicate flavour, preserving its subtle aromas and natural sweetness. The result is a fragrant, luminous jam with a silky texture that instantly evokes Provençal summers and the juicy flesh of sun-ripened melon.

This original and unusual jam delights with its finesse. Melon is often enjoyed fresh, but when transformed into jam, it reveals an unexpected facet: an enveloping sweetness, a delicate fragrance, and a rounded mouthfeel that captivates from the first spoonful. As fruit confectioners in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence for five generations, at Lilamand we know better than anyone what this fruit can offer. Our intimate knowledge of melon, refined over decades of candying, is evident in this jar, where fruit meets sugar and nothing else.

Spread on toast for breakfast, served with fresh goat’s cheese or cured ham, this melon jam adds a touch of sunny Provence to every meal.
