Convento dos Cardaes Grapefruit Jam 212 ml

Convento dos Cardaes Grapefruit Jam 212 ml is a Portuguese jam from Lisbon, made at the 17th-century Convento dos Cardaes. A favourite with marmalade fans looking for something a little different.

Flavour and texture

Grapefruit makes a bittersweet, refreshing jam with a lively citrus perfume. The fruit's natural bitterness balances the sugar, so it feels bright and clean rather than heavy.

Food pairing

Spread it on toast, stir it into plain yogurt, or serve it with duck or a creamy cheese. A white port and tonic is a fun match.

About Convento dos Cardaes

The Convento dos Cardaes stands on Rua do Século, between Bairro Alto and Príncipe Real. It was founded in 1681 for Carmelite nuns and came through the 1755 earthquake with its gilded chapel and Dutch tile panels intact. Its small shop sells jams and biscuits made at the convent, and the house still welcomes young adults with special needs.
