She agrees. In the ultra competitive universe of red fruit jams, a reference is released. The Yuka application, which scrutinizes the products of our shelves, has unveiled its ranking of the best jams available in supermarkets. And the big winner is … an organic blueberry jam, made in Provence.

Made in Provence, this jam checks all the boxes of a product that is both gourmet and healthy.

Red jams … and virtuous
