Black blueberries harvested in June
Minnelea's Black Blueberry Extra Jam is born from a small, dark, decisive fruit. Black blueberries are harvested in June, when the colour is full and the taste expresses its most recognisable character: intense, deep, slightly tart.
It's a jam designed for those looking for a clear, not generic, flavour. Not a "mixed berry" jam, but a product centred on the black blueberry, with an essential recipe and a process designed to respect the raw material.
Awarded WineHunter Rosso 2024
Minnelea's Black Blueberry Extra Jam received the WineHunter Rosso 2024, an award that recognises products with identity, quality and gastronomic character.
It's a prize that fits this jam well: simple in the recipe, precise in the taste, elegant when paired with desserts, fresh cheeses and slow breakfasts.
Vacuum cooking at low temperature
Like our other sweet jams, the black blueberry is processed by vacuum cooking at low temperature. It's a slower method than traditional cooking, chosen to preserve a cleaner aromatic profile and a soft texture.
The density isn't built with pectin or thickeners. It comes from time, from the fruit and from the balance of the process. The result is a dark, velvety, intense jam — never heavy.
How to use it
It's perfect on toasted bread with butter, in plain yogurt, on fresh ricotta, in a tart or as a finishing for a cheesecake. On boards it pairs well with fresh and creamy cheeses, where its slightly tart note creates contrast without covering.
A jam to keep in the pantry for breakfast, but also to use when you need a simple, immediate, recognisable gastronomic detail.
