Today I meet Catherine Manoel....Who is she?
She lives in a farm in the southwest of the department of the Aube.
It is there that she works one of her talents, the one for which she should have a better gratitude.

​

It has been 40 years since Catherine makes some jam, so much tell you that she leaves no room in the uncertainty. We do not become Masters - Craftswomen Confiturier by chance.
With Catherine all the parameters are taken into account:
- Her laboratory deserving of a operating room.
- The choice of products, made carefully with hand-picked suppliers, fruits with good maturity, picked at the right time according to the good weather report, at the good hour of day, with the perfect quantity of sugar, everything is under control, (I buy only if the fruit is good she says) it is for nothing that the Culinary Middle school of France appointed her Producer Quality craftsman unanimously of all the Star chefs.

​
 

They are around 300 types of jams which are developed by Catherine.
There are the traditional strawberry jams and the apricot, but you will also find exotic mixtures as the blueberry caramel, the rhubarb barbe a papa, the sweetened chestnut purée, that in apricots coconut and vanilla, the frost of yellow and green lemon vodka, the lemon frost grooves, delicious apricots passion fruits in ........ and they are only some examples, every jam will make for you travel has fault an incredible pallet of flavors and tastes getting you an unforgettable experience.

​

Catherine gets up early to realize with talent this unique work which requires Master Craftswoman's title which he in summer awarded on December 9th, 2016 by the Regional Chamber of the Jobs and The Crafts, it is the result of all these years of relentless work and search for the quality of the product.

Catherine sells her jams in France to the star chefs, but she also exports towards Japan, Dubai, Austria and to the other Countries. Gault and Millaud referenced her as GREEDY COMPANY in 2017 and 2018.

 

The customers from Paris in holiday resort in this area come into the shop to Courson (they were in mission of supply for them and for their friends), praise the diversity of the tastes, the quality of jams and frosts, originality, and choice proposed by the Comptoir des Confitures, and suggest this original idea "to Offer jams" it's good idea, the packaging is very elegant and refined.

 

Catherine is the original personality, with this small slight accent of the South of France of which she is native, her rich and surprising life would deserve other meeting, can be will let with us one day travel across the personal album to deepen its period of racing driver or the friend ship story of its meeting with Paul Bocuse whose photo thrones on the wall of the shop.
While waiting for this member of the Era of the Companions and Egalitarian Aspirants prepare us some greedy surprises for the parties(holidays), I invite you to discover more in Coursan shop in December.
 

Thanks to Catherine for her welcome(reception).
