- JOIN THE COMMUNITY - Within the Le Parfait family, you are included with award-winning professional chefs, national culinary institutions and charitable food organizers who trust Le Parfaits dependability and durability within the finest gourmet establishments around the world.
- Le Parfait glass preserving jars are popular because they are made with all-natural materials, are easy to use, save you time in your daily schedule, offer a large range of various sizes and styles, are simple to clean, and the global website supports you with engaging resources.
- If using the jars for daily storage use, we recommend occasionally rotating the wire ring while holding the glass jar and lid stationary. This will help to release any crumbs or debris caught under the wire and avoid clamping pressure being placed repeatedly on the same area of the glass rim.
Le Parfait Super jars and terrines should always be used with a Le Parfait Super rubber seal, even when the jar or terrine is used for pantry storage. Persistent opening and closing of the wire hinge could cause damage. Please consider the Le Parfait COLOR LID product line with screw-top caps as an alternative for pantry storage.
For a simple homemade coffee setup, pair these jars with our cold brew kit to make smooth, full-bodied coffee right at home.
Le Parfait America offers glassware designed for food preparation, storage, preservation, and pantry organization. The French tapered wire bail jars feature a tapered shape for easy filling and controlled pouring, making them useful for layered desserts and small-batch ferments. Their structure supports repeated use, helping keep ingredients organized in one place. These French glass jars are built for consistent everyday kitchen use.
The design prioritizes function over decoration. A wire closure system creates a secure seal for short- and long-term storage, while the glass stays clear and stable through temperature changes. These jars are often used for meal prep and fermented condiments, keeping ingredients visible and easy to access.
Structured Storage with Versatile Form

Is Le Parfait glass lead free?
Yes. Le Parfait glass is a soda-lime-silica glass with no lead added during fabrication. Products are tested annually to certify no heavy metal contaminants (lead, cadmium, etc.) and meet the most stringent European and French standards for food-use glass.
How often should you replace the rubber seal?
Replace rubber seals after every canning or pickling project, or every six months for everyday use. Replace immediately at any sign of cracking, drying, or discoloration to protect the closing mechanism.

Yes. Le Parfait jars are dishwasher safe and can also be hand washed. Air dry completely before storing.
Can you use Le Parfait jars for fermentation?
Yes. Le Parfait Super Jars are ideal for fermenting sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, and hot sauce. The rubber gasket and wire-bail closure allows CO2 from active fermentation to escape while keeping oxygen and contaminants out, no airlock required. Fill to the shoulder, keep the wire bail clamped, and store in a cool location during active fermentation.
