Editor's note: In 1956 André Vandererfven acquired a small gourmet store, dating from the end of the 19th century, in the West Flemish city of Kortrijk, Belgium. He started producing fruit preserves for the local market and quietly built a reputation for high quality and flavoursome preserves. In 1990, his son, Thierry, took over the business, expanded homemade production and began exporting the delicious preserves globally.
