Artisanal Syracuse Lemon PGI jam with catmint - 300 g

Source: lemons grown in the company’s gardens

At the heart of the Syracuse Lemon PGI jam with catmint lies a raw ingredient of the very highest quality: lemons grown directly on the farm’s land, in the province of Syracuse.

This area offers ideal conditions for citrus fruits:

• mild Mediterranean climate
• significant sun exposure
• fertile, well-drained soil
• salty air

Lemons grow as follows:

• a rich fragrance
• a peel rich in essential oils
• a fresh, lingering flavour

The short supply chain ensures total control over product quality.

Handcrafted

The Syracuse Lemon PGI jam with catmint is made in small batches, using traditional methods that respect the raw ingredients.

The 3 stages of our production process:

Selection

We carefully select the finest fruit, which is then cut by hand and seasoned with pure fresh lemon juice.

Cooking

Cooking at a low temperature allows us to preserve all the natural qualities of the product: authentic flavour, vibrant colour and intense aroma.

Potting

Every stage of the process takes place in our workshop in accordance with HACCP protocols. The jars are sterilised in an autoclave, ensuring a shelf life of 24 to 36 months without compromising quality.

• natural flavours
