Bravo de Esmolfe Apple Extra Jam with Cinnamon

Bravo de Esmolfe Apple (PDO) is an apple with unique characteristics, extremely aromatic and juicy, sweet and at the same time acidic. It has an oblong-conical shape, white pulp and its whitish skin and sometimes has pink spots. This regional variety, known since the 19th century. XVIII, is originally from the village of Esmolfe (Penalva do Castelo, Portugal) and was obtained from a tree planted from a seed. As its fruits are very popular, grafts were obtained that spread this variety to several fruit production areas, especially in the Beira Alta region and in part of Cova da Beira.

Rainha Cláudia’ Plum Extra Jam with Lemon Thyme

Cultivated in the Alto-Alentejo interior region for centuries, the “Rainha Cláudia Verde” plum variety has acquired its own specificity, because of the ecological conditions of the region, which make it different from that produced in other regions. This perfect adaptation to the soils and climate of the region makes it possible, for example, to grow it practically without the use of pesticides, with most orchards in perfect ecological balance. The name Rainha Claudia (Queen Cláudia) (1499-1524) was given to her in honor of the daughter of Anne of Brittany and Louis XII, the Duchess of Britannia, who became the first wife of King Francis I of France. Lemon thyme is part of the mint family and is the leaf of a low-growing shrub. The leaves are tiny and greyish green, with a dry, delicate lemon scent. Its main nutrients are Calcium, Fiber, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc, Vitamins A, B6 and C. This aromatic herb is produced in organic production, in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, thus having a more intense aroma and flavor.
