Fig Fruit Spread

Fig Fruit Spread

Maison Francis Miot’s range of “family-size” spreads and jams is perfect for big families or to create delicious tarts and baked sweets. The products offer excellent value for money, considering that they are served in the buffet breakfasts of some of the most prestigious international hotels in the world including the Burj-al-Arab & Four Seasons in Dubai, the Ritz Carlton in Abu Dhabi and the Waterside Inn in London, to name just a few.

But why are they called “spreads” and not simply jams?

Because the European Legislation no. 1169 of 2011 has finally made the distinction between industrial and artisan products: spreads are fruit mixtures that contain at most between 45% and 50% added sugars, so common jams or marmalades essentially contain more sugars than fruit itself. Spreads are synonymous with artisanal production processes and are a healthy, refined and delicious product.

During his long 30-year career, Monsieur Francis Miot has accompanied and supported his collaborators in their artistic and qualitative growth, astounding and amazing French and international customers. Located in Uzos, in the south-western part of France, in the Pyrenees area, the company bases its success on four key principles: the aspiration to excellence, the constant quality – both in the raw material and in the finished product –, the artisanal nature of the production process and, finally, creativity – a fundamental ingredient in today’s saturated jam sector.

The fruit is selected from eco-responsible and supportive producers, to fully safeguard and preserve the aromas, flavors and organoleptic properties of the raw materials. To respect the quality of their taste, the raw materials are harvested exclusively just beyond the ideal ripening point: in fact, at this moment the fruit is much more sugary, containing more fructose, which makes it possible to avoid having to add more sugar than necessary. Only copper and stainless steel cauldrons are used to make the spreads, for a maximum of 100 kg of fruit: the cooking time is short and over a low heat (between 5-10 minutes at 90 to 100 °C), allowing all the original taste of the fruit to be preserved. In fact, short cooking times mean less sugar and a richer fruit flavor.

The company
