The jar opens with a soft "pop" of vacuum seal, and already that color—a golden orange, dense, almost translucent in places—announces that there is more fruit than sugar inside.

Warm toast, butter beginning to melt, and that first spoonful of jam, spread a little too generously because you know it deserves it. It’s a simple, universal ritual that generations of mornings have perfected—and Léonce Blanc has made it their specialty for over a century.

It all started in 1892, in Corrèze, when a man named Léonce Blanc launched his simmered fruit workshop. His obsession: preserving the true taste of the fruit rather than drowning it in sugar. This requirement has been passed down through the generations, becoming the brand's signature—a jam made of 70% fruit (compared to about 45% for a classic jam), with 30% less sugar. The result: an apricot that actually tastes like apricot, not just sweetness.

You don’t buy this jam to "put something on your bread." You buy it to rediscover that sensation of fresh fruit, almost as if you had just picked it—that little promise kept, jar after jar, that true taste still exists.

And then there are those gray, rushed Canadian winter mornings, where you have neither the time nor the desire to make things complicated. A slice of bread, this jam, and for a few seconds, the movement slows down. You savor it. You are elsewhere, for a bit—somewhere between Corrèze and your own kitchen.

On the palate, the opening is bold: the fruit immediately dominates, with that slight acidity of the apricot that awakens the taste buds before the sweetness sets in. The texture is generous, with real pieces of fruit that melt slowly rather than a smooth, uniform paste. The sugar, in the background, leaves all the room for that taste that lingers—a bit like the memory of a summer afternoon you don't want to see end.

Why our customers love it:

  • 70% fruit—one of the highest contents on the market, for a taste that is anything but artificial
  • 30% less sugar than a traditional jam, without sacrificing indulgence
  • Gluten-free, ideal for the whole family
  • Made in France (Corrèze) according to expertise passed down since 1892
  • The kind of little morning pleasure you keep preciously for yourself

WHY WE USE THIS SHIPPING SYSTEM ONCE A WEEK

The reason is simple: that's why we use this shipping system once a week, where products are shipped on Sundays.

If we were to keep all products in large quantities, we would need a very, very, very large warehouse, like a large distribution center. The cost of that would significantly increase our prices.

Instead, we keep limited stock and receive weekly deliveries.

However, not all of our 100+ suppliers deliver at the same time, and not all of them have an accurate inventory system — and that's another story lol.

For this reason, in order to build your package, we have to wait for products from all suppliers. If we already have all the items, your package may be sent faster. It also depends on the volume of orders.

We hope you understand 🙏

WHEN WILL MY ORDER BE SHIPPED?

All orders are dispatched once a week, on Sundays. All services, including express service, follow this same shipping schedule.

You place an order here (Week 1) – for example: whether it's Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.

👉 This is considered our order week (Week 1).

👉 Your order will be prepared from the following Monday until Saturday, then dispatched on the following Sunday (the next Sunday, not the one in the week you ordered).

👉 If you order on Sunday or later in the new week, your package will then be dispatched the Sunday after that, approximately 14 days later.

Product FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHEN WILL MY ORDER BE SHIPPED?

Orders are processed weekly.

If you place your order before Sunday, it will be processed and shipped on the following Sunday (not the immediate Sunday).

If you order after Sunday, it will be processed and shipped on the following Sunday (i.e., the second Sunday after your order).

WHERE ARE THESE PRODUCTS LOCATED?

All our products are already in Canada, in our warehouse, ready to be shipped. You will not have any customs fees or hidden charges upon delivery.

WHY DO YOU SHIP ONCE A WEEK?

Because we work with several importers and suppliers.

Some products are in limited quantity in our warehouse and we must wait for the missing items to be received.

Since our suppliers do not all deliver on the same day, we consolidate orders and ship once a week to ensure your order is complete.

WHY IS AN ITEM MISSING FROM MY ORDER?

Some of our suppliers do not have a real-time inventory system and do not always notify us when a product is out of stock.

In addition, some received items may have an expiration date that is too soon. We check each product upon receipt and remove those that do not meet our standards.

If an item is missing, it is because we have chosen not to include it in order to guarantee you the best possible quality.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A RETURN POLICY?

As these are food products, we cannot accept returns for safety and hygiene reasons.

Once a product has been shipped, we cannot guarantee the storage or handling conditions.

Why has the price of this product increased since my last order?

Our products are purchased in euros, so the exchange rate directly influences our prices.

In addition, transportation and import costs can vary, which can also impact the final price.
