Raspberry and Lime Extra Jam with Mint
Description
The Raspberry and Lime Extra Jam with Mint is a true celebration of freshness and balance, bringing together three ingredients that complement each other in a surprisingly harmonious way. Raspberry, with its delicate and slightly sweet flavor, provides softness and vibrant color; lime adds its citrusy, tangy brightness, intensifying the liveliness of the blend; and mint completes the fusion with its unmistakable freshness, creating aromatic herbal notes that prolong the tasting pleasure. The result is a light, refreshing, and sophisticated jam, ideal for those who enjoy modern, bold flavors anchored in Portuguese artisanal tradition.
Thanks to its well-balanced profile, this jam is extremely versatile. It pairs beautifully with soft or blue cheeses such as São Jorge Cheese (PDO), Roquefort (PDO), or Pecorino (PDO), creating a striking contrast between fruity sweetness, citrus acidity, and minty freshness. With white meats like chicken, veal, or roasted pork, it adds an unexpected layer of elegance, balancing intensity with light, aromatic notes.
In desserts, this jam is an endless source of creativity. It shines as a topping for crêpes, pancakes, panna cotta, or artisanal ice creams, adding freshness and refinement. It also works wonderfully as a filling for tarts, cookies, and cakes, or as a finishing touch for summer desserts like mousses and cheesecakes. The fusion of raspberry’s sweetness, lime’s citrusy brightness, and mint’s vibrant freshness transforms every dessert into a sophisticated and refreshing experience.

Origin of raw materials
The freshness of this jam is born from the combination of three entirely Portuguese, sustainably produced ingredients: organic raspberries, lime, and organic mint. Together, they reveal the agricultural and aromatic richness of Portugal, transforming a simple jam into a refreshing and authentic experience.
Organic Raspberries from Portugal
Grown organically in Portuguese orchards, the raspberries used in this jam stand out for their freshness and exceptional quality. Delicate and juicy, they are harvested at peak ripeness, ensuring a lightly sweet flavor balanced by a subtle acidity that awakens the palate. Rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and minerals, raspberries not only give this jam its vibrant, appealing color but also bring important nutritional benefits, reinforcing its healthy and natural character.
Portuguese Lime
Limes grown in Portugal’s fertile soils and mild climate add their signature citrus profile to this jam. With a fresh, tangy flavor, lime enhances the liveliness of raspberries, creating an irresistible sweet-and-sour fusion. Packed with vitamin C and essential oils, it delivers the aromatic touch and refreshing balance that make this jam truly special.
Organic Portuguese Mint
Organic Portuguese mint lends the jam a refreshing and aromatic note, with subtle sweetness reminiscent of lemon. Cultivated sustainably without chemicals, mint is a beloved herb in Portugal, valued in both gastronomy and traditional medicine. Its unmistakable freshness adds lightness and balance, transforming this jam into a unique sensory experience.
The union of Portuguese organic raspberries, citrus-fresh lime, and organic mint results in a jam that is innovative, light, and sophisticated. It is a tribute to the agricultural richness of Portugal, celebrating the authenticity of local ingredients through an artisanal and versatile jam.
