Convento dos Cardaes Strawberry Jam 250 ml

Convento dos Cardaes Strawberry Jam 250 ml is a Portuguese jam from Lisbon, made at the 17th-century Convento dos Cardaes. A crowd-pleaser for breakfast tables, children and grandparents alike.

Flavour and texture

Strawberry jam is the classic for good reason: ripe, red-fruit sweetness, a gentle acidity and that unmistakable summer perfume. Simple, generous and comforting.

Food pairing

Enjoy it on toast with butter, in crepes, with queijo fresco or over vanilla ice cream. For a festive touch, open a bottle of rosé espumante.

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.
