The Strawberry
Spring in a jar: the strawberry is the very emblem of the warm season. Picked exclusively by hand when it reaches its deepest red, it is processed whole at low temperature to preserve the original fragrance of freshly picked fruit, without the addition of any artificial flavouring.
APPEARANCE: a bright, vivid and natural red. Inside the jar the texture is rich, with soft, whole pieces of fruit.
ON THE NOSE: an intense, sweet and lingering aroma, with the fresh notes typical of ripe field-grown strawberries.
ON THE PALATE: a perfect balance between the initial sugary sweetness and a very faint, pleasant tang on the finish that cleanses the palate. The texture is smooth and enveloping, never jelly-like.
Ideal Pairings
Strawberry jam is a timeless classic, but its artisan purity makes it incredibly versatile.
At breakfast
Wonderful spread on a slice of toasted rye bread with a thin layer of salted alpine butter.
As a gourmet touch
Surprising in contrast with fresh, soft and slightly tangy cheeses such as squacquerone, goat’s robiola or a very fresh cow’s milk ricotta.
In patisserie
The ideal filling for a traditional shortcrust tart, or drizzle it warm as a topping over a vanilla cheesecake or fior di latte ice cream.
Bring the flavour of spring into your pantry.
