From the Basque region of southern France come luscious, tender cherries in a light, pourable syrup. This fantastic, flavorful artisan fruit preserve is made with rare cerises noires (black cherries) harvested near the village of Itxassou in the French Basque Country.
A bold and rich spread that begins sweet and finishes with a flash of heat. With notes of caramel, honey and chili, we love this spread paired with manchego or goat cheese.
Production takes place entirely on the San Guiliano estate. The recipe for the jams has remained unchanged for years. It is made entirely by hand in small batches using only fresh fruit. Grown organically since the 1980s, the fruit is harvested by hand with production taking place during the winter months, when the fruit is mature and ready to be harvested. The fruit is cut and left to stand for about one day. Then, it is slowly cooked down, adding sugar and lemon juice. No thickeners or preservatives are ever used. The high proportion of fruit, combined with natural ingredients and strict production standards, insure that San Giuliano products have a traditional taste and texture.
Fruit-rich figs are hand-picked and sun-dried then carefully cooked to sweet perfection. The perfect cheese pairing.
Preserved lemon or lemon pickle is a condiment that is common in the cuisines of Indian subcontinent and North Africa. It is also known as country lemon and leems. Diced, quartered, halved, or whole lemons are pickled in a brine of water, lemon juice, and salt; occasionally spices are included as well. The pickle is allowed to ferment at room temperature for weeks or months before it is used. The pulp of the preserved lemon can be used in stews and sauces, but it is the peel that is most valued. The flavor is mildly tart but intensely lemony.
This traditional recipe is produced with blue plums from the Pannonian Valley. The Pannonian Valley stretches across several countries including Croatia, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary. The sweetness for this spread derives from the naturally occurring plum sugars.
