Bonne Maman preserves and jams

Bonne Maman is an iconic French brand that has become a global household name, recognized by its signature gingham (Vichy) pattern lids and handwritten-style labels. The brand was founded in 1971 by Jean Gervoson and Pierre Roche-Bayard in Biars-sur-Cére, a small village in the Lot region of France. The name, which translates to 'Grandmother' or 'Granny,' was chosen to reflect the traditional family recipes used to create the preserves.

The brand's production is deeply rooted in France, where the majority of its products are still manufactured using high-quality fruit and natural ingredients. This commitment to traditional French jam-making techniques has allowed Bonne Maman to expand its portfolio to include biscuits, cakes, desserts, and even breakfast cereals while maintaining its reputation for quality and simplicity.

Bonne Maman is owned by the Andros Group, a privately held French multinational company. The Andros Group remains a family-owned enterprise based in the same region where the brand was born. The company has grown significantly since the 1970s, establishing a vast distribution network that brings French culinary traditions to over 100 countries worldwide. The brand represents a successful fusion of local heritage and global industrial reach.
