Mason jar

 Used since ancient times, the jars are again becoming must-own kitchen storage items!  The clear glass mason jar is the perfect hermetic container and was originally designed to receive solid or liquid products in order to preserve for as long as possible.

Glass jars: a must for food preservation and canning

Glass jars are ideal for storing a broad range of food products! They are suitable for the storage and conservation of many foods such as herbs, dried fruits, legumes, nutmeg, herbs of Provence, sugar, coffee or tea. When hermetically sealed with their screw lids or airtight gaskets, jars are used for pasteurization and long-term storage of food preparations (vacuum packing). They are therefore ideal for making homemade preserves, for pickling, jam jars, delicatessen jars such as country terrine, rillette, homemade tomato sauce or country pâté.

Variable in size (quart, half pint, quarter pint), mason jars are traditionally made of glass, cylindrical in shape and have a generally tightly sealed lid to ensure the storage and preservation of food. The jar often has a cover with a rubber seal connected one to a mechanical device that seals the jar properly to make the closure super waterproof. We also find Le Parfait jars with a "twist" lid that is tightly screwed on.
