The Bonne Maman brand essence stems from the founder, Jean Gervoson’s desire to produce homemade jam like his grandmother would make. Bonne Maman means ‘Grandmother’ or ‘Granny’ in honour of Gervoson’s grandmother. Produced in France and launched over 40 years ago, Bonne Maman hasn’t changed its branding since it was launched, to symbolise the all-natural goodness.
