LOREZTIA Jam in Bayonne

A passionate beekeeper and artisan jam maker since his youth, Jacques Salles created the Loreztia boutique in Bayonne in 2005. In Euskara, Loreztia means "sweetness of honey", and this is how passion turned into a profession.

In search of quality, jams from Loreztia are simmered in copper cauldrons. Composed of 70% fruit, cane sugar and a touch of honey, the jams are cooked quickly over high heat, in order to preserve the flavors and textures of the fresh fruit. On the shelves of the shop, you will find a range of local jams, to allow you to discover the flavors of the Basque Country and its surroundings. The fruits are harvested by small producers within a radius of 100km around Bayonne. For those with a sweet tooth, Loreztia offers a range of original recipes, with surprising blends of flavors such as Pear-Caramel jam or Kiwi-Apple-Orange.

You will also find seasonal jams, with the one concocted by Olentzero , an imaginary character from Basque culture who came down from the mountains during the Christmas period or the Ekihori jam which means "This Sun" in Euskara, for the summer season. Each one is made up of a very precise mixture, ready to delight your taste buds… Not forgetting its traditions, the house gives a special place to the famous Black Cherry jam, with three recipes, allowing you to go from cheese to toast.

The whole Loreztia team is waiting for you in the shop in Bayonne and will be delighted to make you taste the honeys and jams of the moment, so that you can enjoy their fruity and unique taste!
