Super and Terrine Super: the iconic Le Parfait jar models

The Le Parfait brand was created in Reims in 1930. Its reputation quickly spread beyond the local area to the whole country, thanks to its durable, reusable, healthy and economical glass jars. The brand also stands out for the appearance of its containers, carefully engraved and fitted with a rubber seal whose orange colour has become the distinctive feature of Le Parfait jars.

For almost 100 years, the brand has therefore been equipping French kitchens with glass jars ideal for preserving homemade jams and preserves. Over time, it has developed several ranges, including Super and Terrine Super, which remain favourites among home cooking enthusiasts thanks to their versatility and robustness.

The Super range is probably the most famous, with its tall, slender cylindrical shape. It is available in 70 mm, 85 mm and 100 mm diameters, with capacities ranging from 250 ml to 3 litres. The smallest 250 ml models are ideal for homemade jellies and jams, while 500 ml to 1 litre jars are very popular for preserving vegetables, sauces or fruit in syrup. The largest formats, from 1.5 to 3 litres, are more suitable for family preparations and compotes.

The Terrine Super collection is intended, as its name suggests, for preserving pâtés, prepared dishes or whole vegetables. These jars stand out thanks to their wider and sturdier shape, designed for large capacities.

All these models stand out thanks to their quality manufacturing, based on ultra-resistant glass and a 100% natural rubber seal. Compatible with boiling water, electric sterilisers and even pressure cookers, Le Parfait glass jars have made homemade preserving easier for almost a century.

Familia Wiss, Color Vis: other Le Parfait creations

The brand has not limited itself to these two iconic references. It also offers Familia Wiss jars, with a metal cap and lid system that is easy to handle. Available by quotation only for professionals on Conservor.fr, they provide optimal airtightness with a rubber seal and are suitable for sauces, pickles or quick preserves, making them ideal for informed beginners.

Color Vis jars are modern and colourful, combining design and performance. Designed for storing bulk food as well as fermented preparations, they come in three large formats: 1, 2 and 3 litres. They are topped with easy-to-handle lids, also available by quotation for professionals, in 8 bright colours.

How to choose your Le Parfait jar model?

The ideal Le Parfait jar combines ease of use, handling and storage.

First, you need to select the right diameter: 70 mm is enough for small preparations, 85 mm remains the most versatile option, and 100 mm is suitable for large volumes. This choice also depends on the intended use of the containers. For a jar of sauce or spices, as well as for a prepared meat dish, Le Parfait jars with a wide opening make it easier to use a spoon or ladle.

Next, consider the capacity of the jar:

• 250-500 ml: jams, jellies and sauces, individual portions or gourmet gifts.
• 500 ml-1 litre: vegetables, slow-cooked dishes, fruit in syrup.
• 1.5-3 litres: prepared dishes, fermented preparations, family compotes or dry bulk groceries for the whole family.

All Le Parfait jar models are compatible with sterilisation, pasteurisation and fermentation. They can withstand both machine use and boiling water. However, it is essential to use a new seal each time, stored properly to preserve its elasticity, and to check that it has not dried out or lost flexibility.

Which jar model should I choose for jams?

Le Parfait Super jars from 250 ml to 1 litre can be used for homemade jams depending on their capacity.

Are Le Parfait jars reusable?

Yes, they can be reused provided their condition is checked and a new seal is used after each sterilisation.

Can all Le Parfait jars be sterilised?

Yes, all Le Parfait jars are designed for sterilisation, pasteurisation and fermentation.

Should the seal be replaced after each use?

Yes, it is essential to systematically use a new seal to guarantee complete airtightness during sterilisation.

How should I choose between several models?

The choice mainly depends on the recipe, the desired capacity and ease of use.

To guarantee impeccable hygiene and optimal food safety, carefully follow the time and temperature requirements during pasteurisation or sterilisation: for example, 85°C for 10-20 minutes for acidic fruits, or 100-115°C under pressure for meats and low-acid vegetables. Under-processing exposes food to bacteria such as Clostridium, while overheating alters textures and nutrients. Always combine sterilised jars with new seals, checked before use, to ensure flawless airtightness.
