Jams are ideal in the morning on rusks, used in order to fill cakes and tarts, accompany meat and game, and can be tasted in combination with cheese. Jams are appreciated by everybody. It is a genuine product, suitable for healthy daily diet food and correct nutrition, whose preservation is an ancient and yet modern practice, which every year, at the end of summer, allows living again the atmosphere of ancient traditions, which remind all the warmth of ‘home-made’.
Preserves require ripe raw material, at the best of its organoleptic and nutritional properties, which decline a little time after gathering.
Marmalades and jams produced by the farm ‘Migliarese Bruno and sons’ - who has worked in the field of agriculture for three generations - are little, but important treasures, offered by nature and ‘artisan’ wisdom.
A fair and correct balance between utmost consideration for nature, its cycles, and harmony, as well as technical awareness, are the mission of this company, dedicated to the production and processing of fresh fruit in order to prepare jams and marmalades.
Fresh and seasonal fruit only
Tangerine, lemon, blood orange, bergamot, fig, strawberry, prickly pear, peach, apricot jams and marmalades, proposed both pure and mixed by Migliarese family, are ideal companions for snacks as they used to be in the past, thanks to the quality they can guarantee (in order to talk about ‘jam’, the percentage of fruit used for the preparation is at least 35%, ‘extra jam’ if 45% of fruit is used; when the product is prepared with citrus fruits, it is called ‘marmalade’).
Francesco, the third generation of the family, explains: «Our goal consists in producing according our conscience, by considering ourselves as the first consumers of our products, by means of integrated systems which foster organic production and protect biodiversities, in order to rediscover flavours, scents, and typicality of the true tradition of Calabria».
Fresh and seasonal fruit, carefully selected by hand, no use of additives and pectins, low amounts of sugar, in order to produce: bergamot, lemon, tangerine jam, suitable for filling pies, cakes, biscuits, which goes very well with fresh cheeses, too; strawberries and honey extra jam, ideal at breakfast, excellent as a filling for tarts and brioches, or strawberry extra jam, excellent as a filling for jam tarts and sweet flans.

The Ionian Coast of Catanzaro, in the middle of the Gulf of Squillace, where the lack of industrialization has left a legacy of green hills, intact beaches, and uncontaminated water-bearing strata.
