Preservative-free recipes: Jean Martin's expertise
At Jean Martin, the word "natural" has real meaning. No artificial flavors, no colorings, no additives, and of course no chemical preservatives or acidifiers. Here, each recipe is preserved using natural techniques proven for generations, to offer tasty and healthy products.
Naturally rich colors and textures
How do you get a bright red tomato sauce without coloring, or a perfectly candied ratatouille without texturizers, or an aubergine Riste that keeps for three years? The answer is simple: nature itself.
At Jean Martin:
- Flavors come only from fresh herbs and vegetables.
- Colors come from fully ripened, naturally vibrant vegetables.
- Textures are supported by ingredients like raisins, cranberries, chickpeas, or quinoa, which absorb excess juice.
- A little acidity? No additives: just a dash of lemon juice.
Each recipe is designed to respect the natural taste of the ingredients while ensuring long-term preservation.
Sterilization: essential technical expertise
So, how do you ensure these recipes keep safely for 3 years? Through artisanal sterilization in an autoclave. This technical process allows for:
- Eliminating all present bacteria.
- Ensuring the perfect seal of the jar.
- Preserving flavors and nutritional qualities, even after thermal shock.
Mastering sterilization requires precise expertise: from the recipe's conception, the team anticipates the effect of heat on the ingredients, adjusts their size and pre-cooking. The sterilization temperature is adapted to each recipe and jar format to avoid overcooking.
Glass: the ideal packaging
The choice of glass jar is also essential. Unlike plastic or metal, glass transfers neither smell nor substance, even after heating, thus preserving all the organoleptic and nutritional quality of the recipes.
Jean Martin: between cuisine and technique
It is this unique alliance between artisanal cuisine and precise technique that makes Jean Martin a true vegetable preserver. Rare expertise that allows us to offer 100% natural, safe, and delicious products, directly in your glass jars.
