Artisanal Basque jam: secrets of black cherry artisanal jams

Do you want to discover the authentic flavors of the Basque Country through its famous homemade jams? Immerse yourself in the gourmet world of Basque traditions with our delicious preparations made from local fruits.

Secrets of artisanal black cherry jam

Traditional Basque jam is much more than a simple fruit preparation - it is a culinary heritage preserved with love. We passionately transform black cherries from the Basque Country into creamy jams, while respecting the ancestral manufacturing techniques that have made our region famous.

Rigorous selection and gentle cooking

• Local fruits: black cherries and apricots (66%), hand-harvested at perfect ripeness to guarantee an intense and natural taste.
• Traditional recipe: Slow-cooked in copper cauldrons at 105°C, allowing the fruit aromas to fully develop.
• Fine ingredients: Unrefined cane sugar, AOP butter from Béarn, and natural pectin - no artificial preservatives or coloring.
• Impeccable quality: Hot-potted for perfect preservation, then gently sterilized to preserve all nutritional qualities.

This artisanal expertise gives birth to exceptional homemade jams, where the sweetness of the sugar harmoniously blends with the natural tang of the red fruits.
