Convento dos Cardaes Orange and Carrot Jam 212 ml

Convento dos Cardaes Orange and Carrot Jam 212 ml is a Portuguese jam from Lisbon, made at the 17th-century Convento dos Cardaes. A good choice for curious palates and for anyone who likes a jam that is not too sharp.

Flavour and texture

Carrot brings a mellow, earthy sweetness and a soft body, and orange lifts it with perfume and freshness. Orange and carrot is a duo much loved in Portuguese home baking, and it makes a jam that is gentle, golden and easy to like.

Food pairing

Spread it on toast, swirl it into yogurt, or serve it with a fresh goat's cheese. It is also very good with a mild sheep's cheese and a glass of white port.

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.
