The origins of Bar-le-Duc go back as far as the 14th century. The first mention of this extraordinary jam dates from 1344, with judicial origins. It was said that when the nobility and the middle class won their court cases, judges were given a few precious jars in thanks. Very soon, these jams received the reputation of luxury items. It was, in fact, an honor to serve these famous French jams in little crystal jars.
Since inception, the manufacturing process has not changed. The red currants or white currants are seeded by hand with the help of quills by skilled artisans, then thrown into a boiling sugar syrup, a process that keeps the gooseberry intact with all its flavor and clear color. After this transformation, the only thing that remains is the flower of the fruit. This is what you notice in the small, beautiful jar that is the perfect offering for your own prince or lady of the court.
