Quinta de Jugais Cherry Jam (Doce de Cereja) 280g

Quinta de Jugais Cherry Jam (Doce de Cereja) 280g is a premium, artisanal preserve celebrating the renowned cherries of Portugal's central mountain regions. Crafted in the Serra da Estrela, this jam is defined by its high fruit content (over 54%) and a traditional, clean recipe that allows the natural sweetness of the cherry to shine. 

Product Overview

• The "Fundão" Connection: While sourced from the best regional harvests, this jam captures the essence of the "Cereja do Fundão," famous for its deep red color and firm, juicy texture.
• Clean Ingredients: Simple and natural composition: cherries ($54.2\%$), sugar, fruit pectin, and lemon juice. It often includes a subtle hint of cinnamon to enhance the fruit's warmth.
• Artisanal Texture: Slow-cooked in small batches to maintain a full-bodied fruit character with visible pieces of fruit.
• Natural Profile: Free from artificial colorants, preservatives, or GMOs.

Key Culinary Uses

1. Gourmet Cheese Pairing: This is the quintessential partner for Queijo da Serra or sheep’s milk cheeses (like Ossau-Iraty). The cherry's sweetness perfectly balances the saltiness of cured rinds.
2. Sophisticated Breakfast: Elevates pancakes, waffles, or a simple bowl of Greek yogurt with a vibrant, tart-sweet contrast.
3. Pastry & Baking: An excellent choice for filling thumbprint cookies, layering in a Black Forest-style cake, or glazing a roasted duck breast for a savory-sweet twist.
4. Ice Cream Topping: Slightly warmed and drizzled over vanilla bean ice cream for a quick but elegant desser
