Callas Confiture

Callas Confiture’s Karen Depoorter discovered her love for jam and marmelades when she harvested freh strawberries from her garden and wandered waht she could use them for in her Bed and Breakfast to please her guests at breakfast.

She soon discovered that she did not like supermarket jam – such a classic breakfast ingredient – because what she found in stores was often too sugary or jelly-like, in short: too artifcial.

Karen felt her creativity bubbling to the surface and went in search for genuine fruity tastes and original recipes to turn this product into anything but commom and bland.

Callas Confiture – a real Haute Couture Confiture- was born and her ongoing search for quality, original recipes and the right combination of tastes has not stopped since.

Callas Confiture stands for fresh jams with no preservatives and modest sugar content to bring out and highlight the real taste of fresh fruit.

In March 2012 Karen’s passionate work was rewarded when she received “Gentse Ondernemer” – the Ghent award for sustainable busisness-ownership. Her very own vision on quality and packaging was the underlying foundation which got her the award.

Towards the end of 2012 Karen also released her own book in which 50 of the best and most original recipes are presented. The recipes have a fruit or vegetable flavour twist and combine classic standard jams with more adventurous ones.

But Karen's quest is not over: her confiture is not only an essential part of a lovely classic breakfast, it can also be used as the base of a summury vinaigrette, complementary to little starters or finger food and can even be used as part of a BBQ.

During 2013 Karen will open a new world of Callas Confitures.
