More than artisanal jams, these are expressions of Portuguese gastronomic culture, featuring Rainha Cláudia plums, persimmons blended with Algarve Orange (PGI), the intensity of organic blackberries, and the refinement of spices and wines that complete these recipes.
Rainha Cláudia Green Plum from Alto Alentejo
In the orchards of Alto Alentejo, the Rainha Cláudia Green Plum finds the perfect conditions to grow with balanced sweetness and subtle acidity. Its juicy pulp and delicate texture make it ideal for fresh, aromatic jams.
With historical roots dating back to the Renaissance, this fruit has become a symbol of nobility and authenticity, maintaining its central role in Portuguese agricultural and culinary tradition.
Persimmon
Originally from Asia, persimmon has been cultivated in Portugal for centuries, growing in family orchards across the country. Its soft and juicy pulp, rich in vitamins and minerals, is cherished for its bittersweet flavor that evokes autumn traditions and the comfort of homemade recipes.
In jam form, it gains new depth when combined with orange, walnuts, and Muscatel, creating a sophisticated fusion of citrus freshness, nutty texture, and elegant wine notes.
Algarve Orange (PGI)
The Algarve Orange, with Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), is considered one of the best in the world thanks to the mild, sunny climate of southern Portugal. With its thin peel and juicy pulp, it’s recognized for its perfect balance between sweetness and acidity.
A key element of the Mediterranean diet, it plays a prominent role in both national and international cuisine. In the persimmon jam, it adds vibrant freshness and aromatic brightness, making it more elegant and memorable.
Organic Blackberry from Vila Nova de Famalicão
Hand-picked at peak ripeness, the organic blackberries from Vila Nova de Famalicão stand out for their intense freshness and lightly acidic flavor, balanced by natural sweetness. Produced sustainably, they embody respect for the land and local biodiversity.
These blackberries transform the jam into a refined delicacy, enriched by the fusion with nuts and spices that give it a unique character.
Hazelnut
Hazelnut, with its mild flavor and crunchy texture, is a prized nut valued for its nutritional richness and culinary versatility. Packed with natural oils and minerals, it adds creamy smoothness and delicate depth to artisanal recipes.
In the blackberry jam, it enhances the wild freshness of the fruit, creating a harmonious contrast that results in a more intense sensory experience.
Walnuts from Trás-os-Montes
Walnuts produced in Trás-os-Montes are known for their exceptional quality, with an intense flavor, crunchy texture, and natural sweetness. The region’s dry climate and wide temperature range give these walnuts unique characteristics, preserved through traditional cultivation methods.
In jams, they add body and richness, reinforcing the connection between the Trás-os-Montes land and Portugal’s artisanal confectionery tradition.
Lemon Thyme
Lemon thyme is an aromatic herb cultivated in several regions of Portugal, often through organic farming. Its intense citrus aroma and subtle herbal flavor make it a special ingredient for both savory and sweet dishes.
In the plum jam, it enhances freshness and creates an elegant aromatic profile, transforming a simple recipe into a sophisticated and unforgettable combination.
Nutmeg
Native to the Moluccas Islands, nutmeg was one of the most prized spices on Portuguese trade routes. Its warm aroma and intense flavor made it indispensable in both cooking and baking, bringing sophistication and exotic charm to recipes.
In the blackberry jam, it harmonizes with hazelnut and wild fruit, adding warmth and depth to the aromatic profile.
Douro Muscatel
Produced on the slopes of the Douro Valley, Muscatel Galego Branco is a renowned fortified wine, aged in wood to gain body, balanced sweetness, and an intense perfume. This UNESCO World Heritage region is recognized for its unique winemaking tradition.
In the persimmon and orange jam, Muscatel adds sophistication and complexity, turning each tasting into a distinctive aromatic and wine-inspired experience.
