Bitter orange marmalade
A bright orange-colored jam with a distinctive citrus flavor, enhanced by a pronounced but not overpowering bitterness.
The bitterness of this jam comes not only from the addition of the peel but also from the use of genuine bitter oranges—a rare variety, mainly used by the pharmaceutical industry.
It is perfect for true lovers of bitter citrus fruits.
CURIOSITIES
Known since Antiquity and cultivated from India to the Mediterranean, this fruit is associated with many legends carrying deep symbolic meanings.
It is said that in ancient Rome, Venus planted a tree in her garden as a symbol of abundance and creative fertility. It was also seen as a symbol of vital energy and, for the Persians, represented invincibility. Among the Egyptians, however, it was used in funerary ceremonies, where it symbolized death and rebirth.
USAGE TIPS
Perfect with fresh cheeses such as ricotta, robiola, mascarpone, as well as goat cheese.
It is also recommended with yogurt, on ice cream, or panna cotta.
