Solliès-Pont purple fig jam

The Solliès-Pont purple fig is an exceptional variety grown in the Var, at the heart of France’s leading fig-producing region. Its tender, juicy, naturally sweet flesh makes it an indulgent fruit, particularly suited to jam-making.

At Lilamand, we prepare it using our traditional method: 60% figs and cane sugar, cooked together in an open copper pan. This slow, carefully controlled cooking process concentrates the fruit’s flavour, preserving its fleshy texture and delicate aromas. The result is a smooth, velvety jam with a deep, dark hue and gentle notes of honey and light caramel that unfold generously on the palate.

This jam is a testament to our fruit confectioner’s expertise, passed down through five generations in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. We have an intimate understanding of each fruit — its ideal ripeness, how it behaves during cooking and its flavour potential. This knowledge is reflected in every jar through a simple promise: fruit meets sugar, and nothing else. The result is an authentic jam, free from artifice.

It is delicious spread on toast and also pairs beautifully with mature goat’s cheese, foie gras or gingerbread. In the kitchen, it can glaze duck breasts or accompany dark chocolate desserts.
