Craftsmanship
Simple indulgence
Woven With Care
Crafted with time and care
At Bonne Maman, time is one of our most important ingredients. Time for the fruit to ripen under the sun, and time for gentle, careful cooking that captures its full flavor. This patience is the secret behind every jar of Bonne Maman jam or spread. Each one is made with the same care that’s been passed down over the years, bringing you comforting, generous recipes that taste like home.
Indulgence, the simple way
Bonne Maman is all about enjoying sweet moments without overthinking them. Whether you’re having a spoonful on your own or sharing a snack with loved ones, our recipes bring back the feeling of homemade desserts and childhood treats. It’s indulgence that feels good, tastes good, and brings joy to any moment.
Taking care of the ones we love
Every Bonne Maman moment is a chance to feel closer to the ones you love. A spoonful of jam at breakfast, a dessert shared around the table — it’s in these simple gestures that affection shines through. Bonne Maman is here to help you care for your loved ones and create sweet moments that feel timeless.

The Joy of Fruit
It all starts with sun-ripened fruit, grown in the open air and picked at just the right moment. Then comes the magic of a slow, gentle cooking process close to where the fruit was harvested—Bonne Maman’s signature method that brings out all the flavor and keeps the natural color. The recipe is simple: fruit, sugar, lemon juice… and that’s it. You’ll find this approach in all our classic flavors that feel like childhood, in our Intense range with more fruit and less sugar, and in our more modern twists like Strawberry Guava. All with that unmistakable texture and fruit pieces you can actually see and taste, packed in the iconic jar you know and love.
Flavors Worth Sharing
Bonne Maman brings the same care and craft to a new kind of spread. Our Hazelnut & Cocoa Spread is made without palm oil and blends smooth chocolate with gently roasted hazelnuts. It’s rich, creamy, and made to be shared—though we wouldn’t blame you for keeping the jar to yourself.
