Dilute Teisseire syrups in still or sparkling water and add a unique flavors to your drinks!

Teisseire first started in 1720 when Mathieu Teisseire, a liquor merchant started a distillery in the French Alps and introduced a new Cherry Liquor to his local neighborhood.
Over the years, the company became a family business and became pretty well-known in France.
In 1907, the company was bought by Francois Reynaud, another passionate spirits and liquor merchant who quickly extend the variety of flavors. 
But the real innovation came from his two sons in 1927 when they actually created non-alcoholic fruit syrups and developed even more flavors.
These syrups quickly became a big hit in France as they could be use to better any type of drinks. A real French success-story !

These chocolate filled cookies will most probably become your kids' go-to whenever they are craving a little snack!

LU (that are the initials of Lefèvre-Utile) was created in Nantes, France in 1850 by Romain Lefèvre and his wife Pauline-Isabelle Utile.
They initially sold biscuits from an English company but soon created their own little family business, baking cookies and labeling each package with their initials, LU.
Lu is now one of the most famous French brands for biscuits, cookies and snacks.
Lu Biscuits are now distributed by Mondelez International and available in over 100 countries including in the United States.

In 1866, the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company was founded. The Americans Charles and George Page used abundant supplies of fresh milk in Switzerland and knowledge gained across the Atlantic to establish Europe’s first production facility for condensed milk in Cham. Meanwhile, in 1867, Henri Nestlé, launched “farine lactée” (“flour with milk”) in Vevey, Switzerland. It combined cow’s milk, wheat flour, and sugar. Nestlé developed it for consumption by infants who could not be breastfed, to tackle high mortality rates. By 1878, there was fierce competition between Nestlé and Anglo-Swiss. Both had started manufacturing the other’s key product. The two companies merged in 1905. They had over 20 factories and their sales network spanned Europe and North America but also Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Australia.

The Nestlé & Anglo-Swiss Milk Company helped the war effort in World War I by producing large amounts of basic dairy products for government contracts. Condensed milk is long-lasting and easy to transport, which made it popular with armed forces. For example, in 1915 the British Army starts issuing Nestlé canned milk to soldiers in their emergency rations.

Nestlé began selling chocolate in 1904 when it took over export sales for Peter & Kohler. The Nestlé company had played a role in the development of milk chocolate starting in 1875, when it supplied his Vevey neighbor Daniel Peter with condensed milk. In 1929, chocolate became an integral part of Nestlé’s business. Over the next few decades, they develop exciting new products such as white chocolate, chocolate bars with honey and air bubbles, vitamin supplements, and Nescafé. Nowadays, products like Nestlé chocolate bars, Nescafé, and Nesquik are the reasons the brand is well-known – and the reason you are on this page!

Enjoy real French mustard alongside your steak or fries with Amora's strong and smooth Dijon Mustard!

You won't find a French kitchen without a jar of Amora mustard "fine et forte" within arm's reach – it’s a quintessential condiment. Over 70 years after its creation, Amora mustard is part of France’s heritage. The classic condiment will help spice meats, sauces, savory pies, sandwiches, and picnics… If you want to make a vinaigrette the way the French do, this is the mustard for you!

Dijon mustard is a style of prepared mustard that originated in the town of Dijon, in Burgundy. It is pale yellow, rather than the bright yellow of American mustard, and has a slightly creamy consistency. It’s more intense and nose-tingling than its US counterpart. Burgundy is known for its wines, and the mustard is related: it is grown in vineyards as a cover crop beneath the rows of vines, providing nutrients to the vines when it is plowed under. By the 1200s, Dijon was recognized as a significant area for mustard making and is now regarded as the mustard capital of the world. King Philip VI first used the mustard in 1336 which became popular roughly 500 years later when Jean Naigeon created the formula that replaces vinegar with verjuice. Verjuice is a juice made from unripe grapes and adds flavor to the condiment.

Dijon mustard can be used in a variety of ways. It can top a hot dog or be smeared on a roast beef or turkey sandwich. It is the perfect pairing for a corned beef or pastrami sandwich on rye bread, for example, since a spicy mustard is called for. Chicken with Dijon mustard is also common --  a simple meal that will delight the whole family!

Bonne Maman Jam

Bonne Maman jam is just about as authentic as can be. With chunks of fruit poking through and plenty of sugar, it’s French jam as has been made for centuries.

As early as the first century, Pliny the Elder described preserving fruit by cooking it in honey, syrup, or wine. Cane sugar is introduced to Europe around the year 1000 by way of the Middle East, and the word “confiture” was born, derived from the Latin for “medicine to lick.” At the time, it described all sweets made of foods cooked in sugar. For centuries, jam was considered a luxury, until beet sugar was discovered in the early 19^th century. Now, they’re simply delicious!

Bonne Maman started in 1971 at Biars-sur-Cère, a village in the Lot region known for its plentiful fruit at the junction of the Cère and Dordogne rivers. The jam was so good that it could have been made by a grandmother for her family – hence the name “Bonne Maman,” which is an affectionate name for grandmothers in French. A simple glass jar, a handwritten paper label glued on, and a cap with a red Vichy fabric pattern: this is the way grandmothers used to make jam with all the fruit that ripened in the summer. The recipe is simple: 50% fruit, 50%, and the result is always delicious!

At French Wink, we have a varied selection of classic French jams for you to choose from! Will you spread black cherry, chestnut, quince, mandarine, rhubarb, strawberry & wild strawberry, or golden plum (mirabelle) on your toast in the morning? If you have a sweet tooth, opt for cherry, plum, or strawberry. For a jam with a little more bite, try rhubarb, quince, or mandarine. Chestnut jam is gentler thanks to its nutty flavor.

Ingredients:

• the fruit on the label
• sugar
• cane sugar
• concentrated lemon juice
• fruit pectin
  
  

Bonne Maman jams are made with all natural ingredients. They have no preservatives, no additives, no high-fructose corn syrup; they are sulfite-free, non-GMO, gluten-free, peanut- and sesame-free, and kosher.

Delight in a moment of pleasure with Pépito cookies by Lu. These delicious biscuits are topped with milk or dark chocolate – your choice.

Pépito cookies were initially made by the brand Belin. From the start, the milk chocolate cookies were sold in blue and white packaging, while the dark chocolate cookies had red and white packaging. The character Pépito, a young Mexican wearing a sombrero and sometimes a poncho, is pictured holding a cookie in his hand, about to eat it. The character comes from the Italian TV show of the same name.

Pépito eventually becomes a part of LU, and an essential one at that!

Use this rich béarnaise sauce from Bénédicta to improve just about any dish! In the words of Sam Sifton of the New York Times, béarnaise “tastes like the first sunny day after months of chill.”

Béarnaise sauce is a piquant child of hollandaise, one of the so-called mother sauces of French cuisine. It is simply an emulsification — egg yolks and butter cut through with vinegar flavored with tarragon and shallots, with a bite of black pepper. In this sense, it is a cousin of mayonnaise. It was accidentally invented by the chef Jean-Louis Françoise-Collinet and served at the 1836 opening of Le Pavillon Henri IV, a restaurant at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, not far from Paris. King Henry IV was born in the French town of Béarn, hence the name.

Béarnaise sauce is especially good paired with meats, in particular on steak. It’s great to pair with vegetables as well, asparagus for instance, or boiled potatoes. It elevates seafood, like salmon, haddock, or any roast fish. Try it spooned over an omelet or poached eggs! For an American-French hybrid feel, apply Bearnaise Sauce to the next burger you grill or serve it as a dip for French fries and wow your family and friends.

Bénédicta was originally founded in 1907 as an oil company. At the time, it was called “Bénédictin,” a Catholic reference indicating that the products were of good quality. Prosper Eeckman, Bénédicta’s founder, was the first to distribute oil in glass bottles, which were also called “bénédictins.” The first industrial mayonnaise was launched by Bénédicta in 1957, in a tube; four years later, the brand began producing emulsified sauces like the béarnaise!
