Benamiel brand breva jam is an artisanal product that captures the essence of the Sierra de Grazalema, a region in the province of Cadiz known for its microclimate and the quality of its fruits. The brevas, the first annual crop of the fig tree, are renowned for their mild, sweet flavor, and this jam uses them as its main ingredient.

Main Features

• Ingredients: Brevas de la Sierra de Grazalema and sugar. It is made without added preservatives or coloring, which allows the pure flavor of the fruit to be the protagonist.

• Texture: It is usually dense and unctuous, with pieces of the pulp of the heather that give it a rustic texture and a homemade touch.

• Taste: A very sweet and delicate flavor, with hints of honey and an earthy touch, characteristic of ripe figs. Its sweetness is natural and less intense than that of figs, which makes it very pleasant to the palate.

Food Pairing and Culinary Uses

The breva jam is a versatile product that can be used in both sweet and savory recipes.

• With cheeses: It is an exceptional pairing. It combines especially well with goat cheeses, fresh cheeses, cottage cheese, and soft cheeses, such as Grazalema cheese.

• For breakfast and desserts: Ideal for spreading on toast, pancakes, or to accompany yogurts and pancakes. Its delicate flavor is perfect for desserts with a touch of honey or vanilla.

• In savory cooking: It can be used as an ingredient in sauces to glaze pork or duck meats, providing a sweet and sour touch.

Origin

The fruits of this jam come from the Sierra de Grazalema, an area that, despite its rainfall, offers an ideal microclimate for the cultivation of figs and fig berries. Benamiel’s artisanal production seeks to preserve this quality, making each jar a small piece of the Cadiz landscape.
