Les Confitures du Climont Quince Jam – Historic enjoyment inspired by Nostradamus

The Les Confitures du Climont Quince Jam Extra is an exceptional gourmet product, handcrafted in the heart of Alsace. Cooked from high-quality quinces using traditional methods, it delivers an intense, aromatic flavor with a pleasantly fine texture. Specially: this jam is based on the historic recipe “Codignat de Nostradamus,” giving it unique cultural depth and an incomparable aromatic character.

The quince & the legendary recipe by Nostradamus

The quince is a fascinating fruit – large, yellow and firm. Since it is hardly edible raw, it unfolds its full, almost mystical aroma only through refinement into jellies and jams. Michel de Nostredame – known worldwide as Nostradamus – was in the 16th century not only famous for his prophecies but also an expert in food. In his work “Traité des Fardements” from 1555 he described the Codignat: a method in which quince pulp is finely sieved and gently cooked. This traditional method still forms the basis for the quince jam from Les Confitures du Climont today.

The Les Confitures du Climont manufactory

Since 1985 the small family-run manufactory in Alsace has produced marmalades, jams and jellies according to old recipes. The secret to their quality lies in simplicity: only fruit and sugar are used. Industrial gelling or preserving agents are consistently avoided. Each batch is carefully prepared by hand without machines and always cooked in small quantities in an open kettle to preserve the authentic, unadulterated taste of nature.

Sustainability & quality: information about the best-before date

Why you should not throw away food when the best-before date (BBD) is reached:

• The best-before date (BBD) only indicates until when the product retains its optimal quality (taste, color, texture). It is not an expiration date.
• Jams with a high sugar content are extremely stable in the sealed jar. Many products remain safe to consume well beyond the BBD. Use your senses: if smell, taste and appearance are fine, the quince jam remains enjoyable.
• By extending the period of use we reduce food waste together and act sustainably for the benefit of our environment.
