The Blackberry Extra Jam with Hazelnut and Nutmeg is crafted with carefully selected ingredients that reflect the richness of nature and Portugal’s gastronomic tradition. Each component adds a unique dimension of flavor and heritage, making this jam truly special.

Organic Blackberries from Vila Nova de Famalicão

The blackberries used in this jam are organically grown in Vila Nova de Famalicão, in Northern Portugal. Harvested at peak ripeness, they deliver a fresh and slightly sweet flavor, balanced by a subtle natural acidity. With a soft and delicate texture, they almost melt in the mouth, leaving behind intense and unforgettable wild notes. This sustainable cultivation, carried out by certified producers, ensures not only exceptional quality but also respect for the environment and local biodiversity.

Hazelnut

Hazelnuts are naturally sweet nuts with a crunchy texture, highly valued in confectionery for their rich oils and nutritional value. They are packed with natural oils, minerals, and antioxidants, adding smoothness and a delicate creaminess to recipes. In this jam, hazelnuts create the perfect balance with the freshness of blackberries, enhancing the flavor and adding body and depth to the blend.

Nutmeg

Nutmeg is a spice with a long history tied to the great trade routes of the Age of Discovery, prized for its warm aroma and pungent, exotic flavor. Native to the Moluccas Islands, it was once considered one of the world’s most coveted treasures. Rich in antioxidant compounds, it offers complex and intense aromatic notes capable of transforming any recipe. In this jam, nutmeg brings warmth and sophistication, creating a harmonious contrast with the fruity freshness of blackberries and the smooth creaminess of hazelnuts.

This unique combination of ingredients—the freshness of organic blackberries from Vila Nova de Famalicão, the creaminess of hazelnuts, and the exotic intensity of nutmeg—results in an unforgettable jam that captures the very essence of the Flavors of Portugal in every taste.
