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.
Made by hand in Obidos, Portugal from a recipe that’s been in the family for generations. Sweetened tomato with a touch of cinnamon is a perfect companion for softer goat cheeses or the gooey thistle rennet cheeses of Spain and Portugal.
Fabbri of Bologna has been making uniquely delicious wild cherries in amarena syrup since 1905. Only the best wild cherries are carefully selected and stoned, then candied in wild cherry syrup according to Gennaro Fabbris original recipe. Amarena Fabbri is demi glacé and preserved in syrup, using a secret recipe passed down through the generations, with the same loving care as a hundred years ago. A versatile ingredient in sweets or savories… or simply to eat as is. If you’re the sort of person who hates to run out, the 600 gram jar is the one for you. And it is also a beautiful ornament for your kitchen!
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.
Paola Calciolari began her career as a pharmacist but her true passion was food. She took a gamble, leaving her secure job in order to produce typical condiments from Mantova (Emilia Romagna), often employing her grandmother’s recipes. And we’re glad she did. She makes her exceptional mostardas and jellies by sourcing locally harvested fruit, and slicing and cooking them in their juices; it is a highly labor intensive process. They are extraordinarily fresh, flavorful and chunky. Though often paired with cheese, they also work well with roasted meats and charcuterie.
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.
