Plum spread à la português

 

 

Our delicate plum spread is made exclusively from handpicked fruits from our land. We use no insecticides, chemical fertilizers or weed killers. We use only the best of our natural, healthy, fully ripened fruit.

​

From April to September, the hand-pitted plums plus a little sugar are conserved in self-made Aguardente (schnapps) which is distilled in a local distillery from the fruits of the strawberry tree (Medronho). Of course, the "Medrohnos" come exclusively from our own cultivation. This marinating phase infuses the plums with a fine, mild note of strawberry tree.

​

After the grape harvest in late September, the fruit mass is strained and then reduced in vats on a low gas flame to less than half of its volume. This slow process takes 24 hours, but the result is well worth the extra time. The aroma from the plums is delicious and is captured in every glass.

​

100 grams of our plum jam contain about twice as much fruit, which gives this spread an incredibly fruity, intense note.
