Blueberry of Ardèche

Fruit of our mountains traditionally handpicked with care, the delicious blueberry is a sweetness that is well earned!

Ardèche is already the leading department in the production of wild blueberries! These small blue-violet berries grow directly on the ground of our mountains between 600m and 1200m. Coveted by many connoisseurs: restaurateurs, pastry chefs, or even jam makers appreciate it for its smooth and slightly sweet flavor.

The incredible fruit!

Rich in benefits

The blueberry is naturally rich in fibers! As a natural antioxidant, it also has diuretic properties. It’s not surprising that our restaurateurs use it. If we can combine health benefits with taste, why not indulge?

Tarte myrtilles et fruits rouges

A tartlet to bite into!

Tart and delicious at the same time. It is made with a shortcrust pastry, a good pastry cream, flavored with lemon (or not), all topped for some with apricot glaze. But shh! Its exact recipe is kept secret.

A bit of botany…

Did you know? The blueberry is the only plant that needs soil rich in aluminum. The blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is often confused with the blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), but it’s the former that thrives in Ardèche.

Meticulous harvest

The fruit of the blueberry bush naturally grows very close to the ground because this small shrub often measures less than 60 cm in height! The harvest is done by hand using a comb, and, most importantly, a lot of patience…
