Convento dos Cardaes Tomato Jam 250 ml

Convento dos Cardaes Tomato Jam 250 ml is a Portuguese jam from Lisbon, made at the 17th-century Convento dos Cardaes. Give it to a friend who thinks they know every jam: this one starts conversations.

Flavour and texture

Doce de tomate is a true Portuguese classic. It is sweet and gently tangy, with a warm, almost fruity depth that surprises people who have only met tomatoes in salads.

Food pairing

In Portugal it is served with queijo fresco or requeijão, and it is also excellent with goat's cheese or on toast with butter. A crisp Vinho Verde or a Moscatel works well alongside.

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.
