Jams

Jams are usually made from pulp and juice of one fruit, rather than a combination of several fruits. Strawberries and other small fruits are most frequently used, though larger fruits such as apricots, peaches, or plums cut into small pieces or crushed are also used for jams. Good jam has a soft even consistency without distinct pieces of fruit, a bright color, a good fruit flavor and a semi-jellied texture that is easy to spread but has no free liquid.

Honey

Honey is a sweet fluid produced by honey bees and some other species, and derived from the nectar of flowers. Honey gets its sweetness from the monosaccharides fructose and glucose and has approximately the same relative sweetness as granulated sugar. Honey has attractive chemical properties for baking, and a distinctive flavour which leads some people to prefer it over sugar and other sweeteners.Click here for our selection.

Tapenade & Pastes

Tapenade is a Provençal dish consisting of puréed or finely chopped olives, capers, anchovies and olive oil. Its name comes from the provençal word for capers, tapéno. It is a popular food in the south of France, where it is generally eaten as an hors d’œuvre, spread on gourmet breads such as baguette or ciabatta. Sometimes it is also used to stuff fillets for a main course.
Tapenade's base ingredient is olive. The olives (most commonly black olive) and capers are finely chopped, crushed, or blended. Olive oil is then added until the mixture becomes a paste. Tapenade is often flavoured differently in varying regions with other ingredients such as garlic, herbs, fish, lemon juice, or brandy.
