I grew up in an epicurean family in the North of France, where meals were never rushed, recipes were shared like treasures, and the table was where stories, laughter, and values were passed down.

Food was never just food. It was how we connected. How we celebrated. How we took care of each other.

Those early lessons with my father & grand mothers stayed with me until 2016 when I arrived in South Africa. These values became a vision.

Leo’s Little Jars is more than a jam brand. It is the result of a decade of dreaming, learning, tasting, failing, trying again, and building a strong community of farmers & jammers.

Our mission is simple:

To bring joy through sustainable, fruit focused, healthier and fun jams created by innovative and empowered women.

Our vision is big:

To become South Africa’s leading quality jam brand for homes and hospitality professionals, while staying proudly handmade, focusing on flavour & team, always. No shortcuts. Just honest ingredients and a lot of heart.

We look forward to spreading joy with you.

From my family table to yours,
With gratitude and big dreams

Léonore
