Francis Miot

Francis Miot was a renowned French artisanal jam maker who was known for his creative and innovative flavor combinations. He was born in Pau, in the southwest of France, in 1948, and began making jam at a young age using fruit from his family's orchard.

In 1985, Miot opened his own jam-making workshop, which quickly gained a reputation for producing some of the finest jams in France. Miot's jams were made using only the freshest, highest quality fruit, and were cooked in small batches to preserve their flavor and texture.

Miot was known for his inventive flavor combinations, which included exotic fruits, spices, and even flowers. Some of his most popular flavors included apricot with lavender, raspberry with Szechuan pepper, and fig with ginger.

Miot's jams were highly acclaimed, and he won numerous awards and accolades throughout his career, including the prestigious Meilleur Ouvrier de France (Best Craftsman of France) award in 2000. Miot passed away in 2018, but his legacy lives on through his delicious and innovative jams, which are still produced by his workshop in Pau.
