Extra vanilla tomato jam
Designed for the intrepid adventurer seeking new taste horizons, this jam combines two seemingly distant flavors that blend perfectly. The sweet taste of tomato is enhanced by sugar, while vanilla balances the acidity and elevates the flavor. The result is a cream with an extraordinary taste.
Curiosities
Tomatoes were already cultivated by the Aztecs 3,000 years before the arrival of colonists, who ate them when unripe, slicing them very thinly.
They arrived on our continent around the year 500, but it took several centuries before they were appreciated, as they were considered toxic and poisonous—likely due to the high solanine content of the first introduced varieties. They were also seen as aphrodisiacs, to the point that alchemists between the years 500 and 600 used them as an ingredient in their love potions.
