Organic Elderberry Extra Jam

Only organic elderberries and sugar — fruit used: 123,5g per 100g of product, origin Italy

The fruit of the sacred tree of the countryside: deep purple, wild and intense, with a richness of fibre that no common jam knows.

I Casali del Pino's Extra Elderberry Jam

This extra jam is the wildest and most generous of the line: a full 123,5 grams of elderberries per 100 grams of finished product—an extraordinary density of fruit, concentrated by the slow cooking that has always been the obligatory step in rural tradition—and just two ingredients: elderberries and sugar, both organic. The color is an almost black purple, the flavor deep and vinous, with that wild note of woodland and hedgerow that no cultivated fruit can imitate. And there's one thing that sets it apart from any other jam: 8,6 grams of fiber per 100 grams, the intact legacy of the pulp and peel of a tiny, highly concentrated fruit. A jam with character, for palates seeking authenticity.
 
 
 

The roots of this jam are deep in tradition

No tree in the European countryside is shrouded in as much respect as the elderberry: folklore held it to be the abode of protective spirits, and for centuries, farmers would remove their hats as they passed by and ask permission before cutting a branch—beware of burning its wood in the fireplace. A respect born of gratitude: the elderberry was the "farmer's pharmacy," the tree that provided everything—flowers for syrups and fritters, berries for preserves and dark wines, bark and leaves for traditional remedies—so much so that Hippocrates already listed it among the most precious plants in his herbarium. This jam preserves the most precious gift of the sacred tree: its late summer berries, transformed as they have always been done, with patient cooking and nothing else.
 
 
 

Choosing Elderberry Jam means taking care of yourself

Elderberries are among the most studied fruits in European herbal tradition: their intense purple color is the signature of an exceptional concentration of anthocyanins and polyphenols, pigments with recognized antioxidant properties, which in popular tradition have made elderberries the quintessential ally during the cold season. The 8,6 grams of fiber per 100 grams—a value multiples that of common jams—add substance to every teaspoon. The recipe, made with just two organic ingredients and containing no declared pectins, preservatives, or flavorings, lets only the fruit speak for itself: the most ancient and expertly crafted sweetness of the countryside, respecting a tradition that has always enjoyed elderberries this way, cooked and processed.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Elderberry Extra Jam

• DARK FRUITS BREAKFAST: a generous spoonful in the Organic farm plain yogurt or spread on Organic Cantucci with Almonds slightly soaked: the deep purple of the elderberry transforms breakfast into a Nordic cabin ritual.
• WITH FULLY MATURED CHEESES: The vinous, wild note supports the most powerful cheeses — try it alongside a Aged buffalo cheese or a Pecorino Aged Under Marc, where the call of the must meets that of the berry: a sommelier pairing.
• THE PURPLE SUNDAY TART: roll out a rustic pastry with Organic Spelt Flour, fill it generously and bake: the elderberry jam, rich in fiber and pulp, holds its shape during cooking without liquefying and gives a tart with a spectacular color.
