The preparation of the jam follows the artisanal tradition you will find, at the first taste, it has nothing to envy to the old recipes of our grandmothers. Our unique and oneofakind taste comes solely from the quality and quantity of the fruit we use during the transformation process. We do not use any additives, dyes or synthetic fragrances. The raw materials come exclusively from the local area and the cultivation is still linked to the ancient agricultural traditions of our area.
The family orchards are located on the slopes of Mount Somma. This Vesuvius area is well known for the special fertility of the soil, rich in minerals and potassium, that have a influence on the organoleptic qualities of the fruit. In this area a place of honor is devoted to the queen of all apricots, the PELLECCHIELLA: a particular quality of apricots which ripens in the first half of June and has gained the IGP seal. This ancient and delicious fruit is easily recognisable by its aroma, its unmistakable colors, from orange to deep red, and for its particularly sweet and fleshy pulp.
