Jam is a word of Portuguese origin and translated it refers to ''Quince Jam'', its origin dates back to ancient times, recipes being recorded in cookbooks since 1238. Its birth is due to the intention of retaining the flavor of the fruit for longer. Some companies have managed to preserve this tradition very well and the original flavor of the fruit. St Dalfour, Casa Pau and Fiordifrutta (with a proposal for organic jams) are among the best par excellence. Here are some jam proposals from these traditional houses.

Inside, the pieces of pineapple produce an extraordinary experience on the palate at the beginning of each morning when we spread it on bread and cookies.
