OUR JAMS
The origin of jam is really very old, it is even found in Roman cookbooks. Also the Greeks used to boil quinces with honey to make preserves. In ancient Rome, however, fruit was immersed in a mixture of sweet dessert wine, cooked wine and honey. It is only in the Middle Ages that you can find a jam made with a similar method to our current one. The jams started to be made in order to preserve the harvested fruit in season so that it could be enjoyed in times when difficult to find: in times when refrigeration systems were practically absent, cooking and the addition of sugar ensured a long shelf life. With the advent of sugar in the 1700s the practise then spread all over the world.
Properties
Jam is considered an essential part of a hearty breakfast or a snack for physical activity, but in general it is good to consume just a reasonable amount. It is a food with high energy value given by sugars, vitamins etc… and it is also easier to digest than fruit, as it corrects the acidity of the stomach.
