MAISON FRANCIS MIOT

Everything started first in 1985 when the South-West of France native jam maker Francis Miot, introduced his first handmade jams by establishing the company that today bears his name.

Nowadays, the Maison Francis Miot creates and provides jams, but also confectioneries and handmade fine chocolates, manufactured with care and passion by a team of 35 gourmets! To him, it is not only about preserving the fruit with sugar anymore, but to sublimate the fruits when cooking it. From a simple jam can, he made of traditional jam a real gourmet product, worthy of French gastronomy.  

With a team of 35 passionate, 10 of which are in charge of jams, the Maison Francis Miot is currently renowned worldwide and undertakes to take French fine food to the highest level.

World top Chefs, master pastry Chefs and master chocolatiers join to our Maison to develop new recipes in order to blend oriental or Asian culinary influences and French tradition.   His love for his home country of Béarn and of Basque country supported his job creation. He particularly got his inspiration from the sulfurous history of King Henri IV to create the famous French Lovers, which have become Pau’s specialty.
