OUR HISTORY
rooted in tradition,
here is our story
More than seven centuries ago, the Aptesians offered candied fruit to Pope Urban V, then on pilgrimage to their city . Later, in the 17th century, Madame de Sévigné, in a letter to Madame de Grignan, her daughter, called the commune of Apt “a jam cauldron”. Thus over the centuries, the city has been recognized as one of the main places for confectionery with, in particular, the creation of many artisanal factories.
It was after the Second World War that the first signs of consolidation between candied fruit manufacturers were felt. Indeed, the young generation of confectioners wishes to master new management methods and integrate their businesses into a growing industrial world.
