Calabria, with its mountains rich in biodiversity and tradition, is a land that never ceases to amaze. Among its most precious treasures, we find the Silane cherries, small fruits with an intense and unmistakable flavor, which grow lushly in the Sila. These fruits, handpicked during the warmest periods of the year, are the base of our Confettura di Amarene Silane, a product that encapsulates all the authentic taste of Calabria.
The Sila: A Unique Territory
The Sila is a vast mountainous area located in the heart of Calabria, characterized by a cool climate and unspoiled nature. It is here that the Silane cherries find their ideal habitat, growing in rich and fertile soils, far from sources of pollution. The particular climatic conditions, with cool summers and harsh winters, give the cherries a unique flavor, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity.
From Harvest to Jam
The cherry harvest is a crucial moment, carried out strictly by hand to ensure that only the ripest and juiciest fruits are selected. Immediately after harvesting, the cherries are processed following traditional methods, without the addition of additives or preservatives, to preserve the natural flavor of the fruit.
Our Confettura di Amarene Silane is made with a very high percentage of fruit, to which only sugar is added, ensuring a dense and full-bodied product, with an intense red color and a flavor that immediately brings to mind the woods of the Sila.
Uses and Pairings
This jam is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. It can be spread on bread or toasted slices for a genuine and flavorful breakfast, or used as a filling for tarts and traditional desserts. It is also perfect to accompany aged cheeses, enhancing their flavor with its sweetness and slight tart note.
For those who love authentic flavors and artisanal quality, the Confettura di Amarene Silane represents a perfect choice, a true journey into the heart of Calabria, between tradition, nature, and taste.
Conclusion
Choosing our jam means bringing to your table not only a high-quality product but also a piece of Calabrian history and culture. It's a way to rediscover the authentic flavors of a land rich in traditions and unique products.
