Le Parfait: The Original French Style Canning Jar
Le Parfait means "The Perfect One," and
there is a clear justification for
the name. Made from high qual-
ity, thick clear glass, Le Parfait
Super Jars are designed for long
term food preservation in the
southern
French tradition. They
are safe for use with high or low
acid foods such as meats, veg-
etables and fruits. They are also
ideal for storing dry goods. The
deeply embossed lettering al-
lows these jars to be grasped easily, and
adds a piquant charm to your table,
counter or pantry.
Each Le Parfait jar is dish-
washer-safe, easy to clean and
comes with a rubber gasket.
The company's jars are avail-
able in seven sizes from 8.45 to
101
ounces. All Le Parfait jars
are made in France.
