La Gambarella

The small village of Montorio has been watched over for centuries by the beautiful Scaliger castle that stands proud and austere. In this small valley, water has been a resource since ancient times, and the natural springs still guarantee environmental purity today. Beyond Montorio, the slopes of the Piccole Dolomiti, the Lessini mountains of Verona, provide this environment with continuous cooling in the summer and constant ventilation. Producing natural products for the Bianconi family is a tradition that spans 50 years. They own 11 hectares of orchards where the new generation, consisting of sons Alessandro, Gabriele, and Saverio, still practices a three-year crop rotation to avoid phytosanitary treatments and promote eco-sustainable cultivation. From the fresh, ripe fruit of the fields of Montorio to the jar of jam, this is a process that started a few years ago and is already consolidating a closed supply chain project of quality that offers consumers certainty of origin. The jams of La Gambarella do not contain thickeners or preservatives. Only fresh fruit, cane sugar, and lemon juice are used. The quantity of fruit used to produce 100 g of jam is 120 g. Complete absence of any cross-contamination is guaranteed. All jams are certified gluten-free. The jams are made from fresh fruit processed under vacuum at a low temperature of max 60°C. This allows the extraction of water from the fruit, increasing the density of the product and its creaminess. The Bianconi family offers us delightful jams with very original combinations of fruit, spices, and aromatic herbs. An ideal blend to stimulate creativity at the table with delicious pairings with cheeses or cold cuts.
