Natural Ingredients and Artisanal Preparation
Extra Strawberry Jam is made with only two main ingredients, both carefully selected to ensure the highest quality:
50% Strawberries
50% Sugar
The strawberries, harvested at peak ripeness, are processed using traditional methods to preserve their natural flavor. After meticulous cleaning, the strawberries are slowly cooked with sugar, without the addition of preservatives, colorants, or artificial additives. This artisanal cooking process allows the fruit’s organoleptic properties to remain intact, creating a jam with a smooth texture and authentic flavor.

- Base for granitas: The freshness of strawberries lends itself beautifully to granita preparation, offering a refreshing and delicious dessert.
- Tasting with fresh cheeses: Excellent when paired with fresh cheeses like Tuma or Philadelphia, where the jam’s sweetness perfectly balances the creaminess and slight acidity of the cheeses.
