Super — Le Parfait

The Super collection is Le Parfait's historic range of airtight jars and one of the best-sellers on AZ boutique. Recognisable by its glass lid, orange rubber gasket and metal spring clip, it is the French reference for preserving fruit, vegetables, sauces and jams.

The Super collection's specificity

Le Parfait Super uses a three-part system — glass jar, glass lid, rubber gasket held by a metal clip — that ensures a perfect seal after sterilisation. The glass lid lets you see the contents, and the gasket is replaceable on every canning cycle.

• Glass made in France by Le Parfait (originated in Reims in the 1930s, current production in Puy-Guillaume, Auvergne)
• Replaceable 85 mm rubber gasket (standard range), sold in sets of 10
• Available in 0.5 L, 1 L, 1.5 L, 2 L, 3 L jars and terrines
• Suitable for long-term sterilisation and home preserving

The most popular pieces in the Super collection

Choosing within the Super collection

Why is the Super collection well-known?

It is the French reference canning jar: the glass lid + rubber gasket + metal clip system has become an iconic silhouette, passed down from generation to generation. Favoured by home preservers and culinary DIY enthusiasts, the Super is the staple of canning seasons.

What is the difference between Super and Familia Wiss?

Both Le Parfait ranges are for preserving. Super: glass lid + rubber gasket + metal clip, ideal for long preserves (fruit, vegetables, coulis, lacto-fermentation). Familia Wiss: metal screw cap on a conical terrine, designed for pâtés, terrines and rillettes (shape that eases unmoulding).

Which size should I start with?

To start preserving, begin with the 1 L jar + 85 mm gasket: the versatile, most cost-effective format. Add a few 1.5 L and 2 L for large seasonal pieces (whole tomatoes, fruit in syrup, ratatouille). And always keep a set of 10 replacement 85 mm gaskets on hand.

Is the Super collection dishwasher-safe?

Glass jars and lids are dishwasher-safe. Rubber gaskets should be washed by hand in warm soapy water and replaced at every long-term sterilisation cycle for an optimal seal (this is why the set of 10 gaskets is so popular).
