Our recommendation:
This confit is a true jam (this phrase doesn't work, does it?), as it is incredibly versatile:
Ideal with fresh (goat or sheep) or half dried cheeses
On a roasted leg of lamb or a guinea fowl
Perfect for deglazing meat after cooking
Spread it on crêpes, pancakes or toast
Dilute in hot water infusion
Even add in your ratatouille or other mediterranean dishes
Health Benefits:
Thyme is considered excellent for health as it is rich in many active ingredients and essential oils, flavonoids, vitamin C and calcium.
Storage and Shelf Life
Leos’s confits are made without preservatives or colourings and are pasteurised to ensure a shelf life of up to 3 years. To maintain its quality, store the confit in a dry place, away from heat and UV rays. Once opened, it typically keeps for 2 to 3 weeks when refrigerated.
About the artisans:
I love the story of "Domaine de Leos" and I am very proud I can offer their exclusive products, highly acclaimed by Alain Ducasse, Joël Robuchon and other top chefs of France. What makes it special for me?
First of all - when I tried Leos' olive oil for the first time (my pupils expanded, angels starting chanting "Ecstasy of Gold”), I realised I had never truly tried OLIVE OIL, even though I had been cooking with it for years.
Second - "Domaine de Leos" is a living image of starting from scratch and patiently and methodically developing a dream over the years.
The story starts in 2007 when Patrick Bruel, a renowned singer and actor in the French-speaking world, fell in love with a dormant historical property and its terrain near L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, north of Avignon. He purchased it with the vision to regenerate the land and olive grove to produce exceptional olive oil.
Over the years, he and his team cleaned up the territory, regenerated the existing olive trees, planted new ones, and expanded the estate. In 2017, the "Domaine de Leos" finally started producing its own olive oil. Around 2015, the team planted a few truffle oaks. In 2019, the first beehives were installed, and the first wine grapes were planted. In 2021, the team at Domaine de Leos began to cultivate and harvest lavender and wild thyme on its terrains, from which the exquisite range of natural jams and confits was created.
Thanks to meticulous work and respect for biodynamics over the years, "Domaine de Leos" currently produces the following gourmet products of remarkable quality (of which you can find 1-2-3 in this boutique):
Olive Oils: Produced from two main olive varieties, Aglandau and Salonenque, their oils are known for their rich, fruity flavours and health benefits.
Honey: They produce organic lavender honey, benefiting from the estate's beehives which contribute to biodiversity.
Lavender and Thyme: These herbs are used in various products, including jams and confits, highlighting their aromatic qualities.
Wine: Organic Whites and Rosés
A cosmetic line of natural products based on olive extracts.
Remember the truffle oaks? The truffle plantation is expected to peak in the coming years, adding to the range of products.
Nowadays as a member of the Culinary College of France, "Domaine de Leos" is recognised as a “quality artisan producer. The estate is committed to sustainability, being labelled "High Environmental Value" and engaging in organic initiatives. They prioritise biodynamic and agroforestry practices, ensuring the biological balance of the property. Their eco-friendly approach extends to using biodegradable packaging.
