Our Story

Our story began in May 2009 in a small village of Burgundy, France called Villeferry. While on holiday there with my husband, I discovered a Banana Jam that was unlike anything we had ever had before.....freshly made without anything artificial, it was love at first bite. When we moved back to India in 2010, I was running a food blog, and my husband used to constantly talk about that particular Banana Jam. Seeing him miss that taste so much, and being passionate about cooking, I decided to give it a try myself. I got busy experimenting in the kitchen, added some rum & cinnamon to my banana jam…..and the first batch of Banana Rum Jam was created!
After experimenting with more flavours & seeing a demand from my friends and family for what I was creating, I decided to turn my passion into a business and The Gourmet Jar was born in my home kitchen in 2012, using real ingredients to make real food, real good. And so I became a French teacher turned food blogger turned accidental entrepreneur!
