Rose petal preserve

Fauchon rose petal confit embodies the harmony of freshness and sweetness. The roses are meticulously chosen to preserve the intensity and fragrance of their petals. This traditional Fauchon recipe is a concentrate of flowers, evoking all the freshness of spring. To achieve a balance, Fauchon perpetuates tradition by cooking the dried flowers slowly and in small quantities with cane sugar in copper cauldrons. This ancestral method brings out the caramelised, honeyed flavours that are the signature of Fauchon jams.

The little jar sits beside you on the table, in a spring garden where the flowers are in full bloom. The atmosphere is peaceful, perfect for enjoying a moment of relaxation.

With its strong symbolic value, giving this rose confit to a loved one is a declaration of sincere feelings... It would be perfect in a gift basket for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or simply to show your love every day of the year.

The difference between rose petal jelly, rose flower jam and rose petal confit

Rose jam is a sweet preparation made from rose petals and sometimes other fruits, cooked with sugar to obtain a thick texture and visible pieces of blossom.

Rose jelly, on the other hand, is made from the juice extracted from roses, giving it a smooth, translucent consistency with no pieces of blossom.

Finally, rose confit is made by slowly cooking rose petals with sugar, but is distinguished by its rich texture and the presence of flower pieces, creating a denser, more floral taste experience.

Which roses are best for jam, jelly or confit?
Damask rose is generally considered to be the best option for making rose jam, jelly or confit because of its intense fragrance and delicate petals, which provide an exceptional floral flavour. The Grasse rose is also a good alternative, offering a sweet, slightly fruity aroma that enriches sweet preparations.
