Apicoltura Cazzola Apricot Jam, 220g

Apicoltura Cazzola Apricot Jam is a fruit-rich preserve from a small beekeeping farm in Malalbergo, near Bologna. It is made with apricots, grape sugar and lemon juice, with no added sucrose and no pectin. The texture comes from cooking the fruit down, not from setting agents, so it feels softer and more like spooned fruit than a stiff breakfast jam. Is this your first time buying from us?

• Made with apricots, grape sugar, lemon
• No added sucrose or pectin
• Low-temperature vacuum cooked for colour
• From Malalbergo in Emilia-Romagna
• Soft texture with clear apricot flavour

This is the jar I would open for thick toast, plain yoghurt, or a quick crostata when you want the filling to taste of apricot first, sugar second. It also works well with fresh ricotta or a young goat’s cheese, especially if you like that sweet-savoury table at the end of lunch.

Meet the maker: Apicoltura Cazzola

Apicoltura Cazzola is a nomadic beekeeping producer in the Bologna area of Emilia-Romagna. The beekeepers move their 300+ hives with the seasons and the flowering. It is a very direct way of following the landscape. When the flowers change, the honey changes too. Meanwhile, the honey is left as natural as possible - it isn't heat treated for example. Apicoltura's mantra is simple, and rather lovely: “Why change what nature has already made perfectly.”

The range is wide; explore the different flavours of acacia, citrus, chestnut, cherry, dandelion or linden honey for example.

We love this range, because there is real pleasure in having a few different honeys open at home. One for toast. One for cheese. One for yoghurt. One that ends up being tasted from the spoon, or stirred into a hot drink.
