Parisian Jam in collaboration with the Musée d'Orsay and the Grand Palais RMN. At the Musée d'Orsay, masterpieces no longer just hang on the walls. With Parisian Jam, they are spread on bread. Vincent drank it. We spread it. There is a green in the Self-Portrait of 1889 that cannot be found anywhere else. A murky blue-green, in swirls, that invades the background of the canvas and bleeds onto the jacket, onto the face itself. Van Gogh painted it in Saint-Rémy, the year before his death. Some see anguish in it. One can also see, without too much effort, the color of a glass of absinthe resting on the zinc. For Vincent had his green hour. Two years in Paris, at Theo's, on Rue Lepic, going up and down the Butte, frequenting the cafés of Montmartre with Toulouse-Lautrec, who sketches him just in front of a glass of absinthe. The green fairy, at that time, is the drink of painters, poets, and all those who have not dined. He made it a still life. He also drank a lot of it. We kept the idea, not the bottle. Cooked oranges in a copper cauldron, in small quantities, with unrefined cane sugar, until achieving an amber, bold jam, where the peel gives its bitterness and the flesh its sweetness. Then the absinthe, in liqueur form, poured into the cauldron and measured just right: the cooking takes away the alcohol, the fragrance remains. It passes behind the orange, you don't see it coming, and it holds. Anise, fresh herb, a hint of bitterness that awakens everything. In the morning, it changes from the usual toast. On the label, Vincent's gaze, which was never very accommodating. In the jar, what he would have ordered at the counter. Without the vertigo. The visit continues with Cézanne, Pear Quince and Manet, Jam on the Grass. The three are found in the Musée d'Orsay box. Jar 250 g Price/kg: 67.60 €
