Paola prepares her delicacies with simple, genuine ingredients, without adding thickeners, colourings or flavourings; in the kitchen of
Bontà the
Sorb Apple Jam is prepared
Sorb Apple Jam
Here the ingredients and
wild herbs are gathered, which can be used creatively to make delicious
savoury creams, marmalades, preserves, nectars and jellies. Collecting what the woods offer (wild herbs,
forgotten berries and fruits) thus creating
genuine products with a unique and authentic taste.
Thanks to her passionate work, inside and outside the kitchen, we can once again savour
ancient fruits that have been forgotten. Like
sorb apples, very pleasant to the palate and slightly astringent, gathered in the woods owned by the
service tree. An ancient flavour. Unique, with a strong symbolic meaning of
abundance and good fortune. The service tree has its roots in ancient history. Already loved by peoples such as the Celts and in the Middle Ages.
Sorb apples are small fruits. In taste they recall the pulp of cooked apples, with a rather creamy consistency. The jam is prepared at just the right ripeness. In fact, the added sugar is always kept to the minimum possible, from 10% to 25%. This way you can fully enjoy the properties of the
fruit itself, gathered here from the
service tree, picked in
our woods.
Slightly astringent, extremely pleasant. An ancient flavour that takes us back in time. To the history of this fruit and the meaning that was attributed to it. Abundance and good fortune. The service tree has distant roots: from the Celts and then on through the Middle Ages. Dante mentions its fruit in the Divine Comedy.
Suggestions: a delight enjoyed with bread for breakfast. Excellent paired with both fresh and aged cheeses.
All our jams have a sugar percentage ranging from 10% to 25% max, depending on the ripeness of the fruit. We add no thickeners, colourings or artificial flavourings.
All products are also
gluten-free.
