From the Basque region of southern France (home of the beloved Piment d’Espelette) come luscious, tender cherries in a light, pourable syrup. This fantastic, flavorful artisan fruit preserve is made with rare cerises noires (black cherries) harvested near the village of Itxassou in the French Basque Country. Modern demands for higher yield fruit have diminished production of this unique cherry from three hundred tons in the 1920s to little more than three tons today, so this small production cherry confit truly offers a taste of times gone by. Made with only cherries, cane sugar, lemon juice and pectin, what stands out is the unadulterated sweet-tart flavor and luxurious texture of cherries.
This is not your average jam. It is perfection between sweet and tart.
Beautiful drizzled over yogurt or ice cream, or even toast!
This jam is the perfect blend of sweet and tart - it is a must on any cheese plate, and goes particularly well with triple creme brie or peppered goat cheese. My family, a little leery of cheese and jam together, love it so much that they asked for jars of it for Christmas!
Fabulous. Dont expect to find anything like this in the grocery store!
Absolutely marvelous in my book
wow!!!
