The Rocha Pear Extra Jam with Muscatel is a combination that reflects the sophistication and authenticity of Portuguese confectionery. The Rocha Pear from the Oeste DOP, an exclusively Portuguese fruit, is known for its firm texture, juicy pulp, and perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. When paired with Moscatel from the Douro, one of the world’s most renowned fortified wines, it gives life to a jam of delicate and elegant flavor, marked by fruity and wine-like notes that elevate each tasting into a unique and unforgettable experience.
The smoothness of the pear is enhanced by the aromatic character of the Moscatel, aged in wood and celebrated for its richness in notes of dried fruits, honey, and spices. This subtle contrast between freshness and warm wine complexity results in a harmonious jam—versatile and full of personality—ideal for those seeking distinctive flavors rooted in Portuguese tradition and excellence.
This jam reveals its full potential at the table in multiple occasions. It is perfect to accompany scones, toast, and croissants, or to enrich delicate tarts and crepes. It pairs surprisingly well with duck or game dishes, and integrates beautifully into aromatic vinaigrettes for creative salads. It can also be used as a complement in artisanal cocktails, especially those with Moscatel, or to reinterpret classics like the Margarita. It also harmonizes sublimely with soft cheeses such as Brie.
Produced artisanally in small batches of up to 40 kg, this jam preserves the authenticity of traditional methods. Made with more than 55% fruit, without colorings, additives, or preservatives, and with a reduced amount of sugar, it ensures the natural essence of the ingredients is preserved.
Its packaging in aluminum tubes—99.7% recycled and infinitely recyclable—is practical, hygienic, and sustainable. It keeps the jam protected from light and with reduced air contact after opening, prolonging its freshness. Easy to carry and ideal for any moment, it is perfect for work, school, or a pause of pure pleasure.
For best preservation, store at room temperature before opening. After opening, refrigerate and consume preferably within 21 days to ensure full freshness and flavor intensity.
