Organic Sicilian Prickly Pear Jam
Learn more about this product →Product Description
Why choose it: 95% fruit per 100 g — more pulp than sugar. The prickly pear is Sicily's icon: the rows of Opuntia shaping the landscape, the fruits in every colour (yellow, red, white) ripening under the Etna sun. And with 6 g of fibre per 100 g, this is the highest-fibre jam in our catalogue. Hand-picked at peak ripeness, slow-cooked in small batches with three ingredients. No preservatives, no colorants, no added pectin.
Taste: Sweet and soft, with a subtly grassy finish. Amber colour from the yellow flesh, melt-in-the-mouth texture. The lemon — third ingredient — balances the fruit's sweetness without ever taking over. A unique, inimitable taste reminiscent of ripe melon with honey notes.
Perfect pairing: With aged cheeses — caciocavallo, Gorgonzola, pecorino DOP — for a restaurant-worthy Sicilian cheese board. On toasted rustic bread with sheep's milk ricotta. As filling for tarts and countryside cakes. Also excellent with yogurt, scones, and foie gras for the adventurous.
Ingredients: Prickly pear purée* (95%), cane sugar*, lemon*. (*organic). May contain traces of tree nuts.
Organic certification: Controlled operator No. D58G — Control body IT BIO 006 (ICEA). Fruit of Italian origin, hand-picked in Sicily.
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate after opening and consume within 2 weeks.
