Origin of the Ingredients
The richness of Rocha Pear and Red Currant Jam with Melissa and Pink Pepper is deeply connected to its origins, bringing together exceptional Portuguese ingredients and exotic touches that, together, create a singular tasting experience.
Rocha Pear from Oeste PDO
Rocha Pear from Oeste PDO is one of the jewels of Portuguese fruit growing and a variety found exclusively in Portugal. Produced mainly along the Central West Coast of Portugal, it covers around 10,000 hectares of orchards and stands out for its sweet flavor, juicy flesh, and firm texture. The combination of the region’s climatic conditions and the know-how passed down through generations results in a fruit with exceptional organoleptic qualities. Recognized as a Protected Designation of Origin by the European Union, it is not only a high-quality ingredient but also a symbol of Portuguese cultural and gastronomic heritage.
Red Currant
Red currant adds a vibrant contrast to the jam, with its refreshing acidity and distinctive fruity notes. In Portugal, it is mainly grown in small-scale orchards and family farms, with harvest taking place between mid and late summer. This bright red berry, which grows in clusters along shrub branches, enriches the jam with freshness and intensity, balancing the sweetness of the pear and creating a delicate yet sophisticated harmony.
Melissa
Melissa, organically cultivated in northern Portugal, brings a fresh aromatic profile to the jam, with notes reminiscent of lemon and a gentle herbal touch. Highly valued both in gastronomy and traditional infusions, melissa is synonymous with naturalness and authenticity. Its inclusion in this jam adds an extra layer of freshness and softness, enhancing the fruity flavor while harmoniously balancing the overall profile.
Pink Pepper
Pink pepper, also known as Brazilian pepper or poivre rose, originates from South America and belongs to the Anacardiaceae family. Although referred to as “pepper,” it is distinguished by its fruity, slightly resinous, and delicately aromatic character. Its use in this jam adds an unexpected and refined dimension, providing a gently spicy finish that enhances the other flavors without overpowering them.
The fusion of Rocha Pear from Oeste PDO, Portuguese red currant, organic melissa, and pink pepper results in a jam that is both traditional and innovative. Each ingredient tells a story, from Portuguese cultural heritage to international touches that broaden flavor horizons. The result is a unique gourmet jam, a symbol of the creativity and quality that define Portugal’s gastronomic identity.
