Cilento red apples, autumn harvest
Minnelea's Red Apple Extra Jam is born from selected red apples, hand-picked from a small Cilento farm. The harvest moment is the one when the fruit is at its peak ripeness: firm pulp, natural sweetness, an aroma that tells of autumn.
A simple jam, built on a single fruit and a single direction of taste: the real apple, with no substitutes.
Essential recipe, 130% concentration
For each jar we use 130 g of red apples to obtain 100 g of finished jam. The fruit loses water during cooking and what remains in the jar is the concentrated part: full aroma, soft structure, natural sweetness.
Only red apples at 75% and cane sugar at 25%. No pectin, no thickeners, no preservatives, no colourings. The natural pectin of the apple does the holding work: the consistency comes from the fruit itself and from cooking time.
Vacuum cooking at low temperature
Like our other sweet jams, red apples are processed by vacuum cooking at low temperature. A slow method, chosen to preserve the colour, fresh aroma and soft consistency of the fruit, without forcing the process.
The result is an amber, velvety jam, balanced in sweetness — designed for those who look for an authentic apple flavour.
How to use it
Perfect on toasted bread for breakfast, on rusks or pancakes. In pastry it works for tarts, strudel and traditional autumn desserts. In gourmet pairings it shines with aged cheeses and roasts, where the sweetness of the apple balances saltiness and the fatty side.
A jam for those looking for the apple as it should be.
