Sweets and Jams: Sicily's Sweetest Secret

At the heart of Sicilian culinary tradition, sweets and jams represent the island's most intimate and delicious side. Frantoi Cutrera has carefully selected the finest examples of this category, encapsulating in every jar and every sweet the legacy of ancient recipes and a passion for authentic flavors. Our products are a tribute to sun-kissed Sicilian fruit, crafted using artisanal methods to preserve their unmistakable flavor and aroma.

Our artisanal jams are the result of meticulous craftsmanship, starting with the juiciest fruits: from classic citrus marmalades like oranges and lemons to more unique ones like prickly pear. Each jar is a natural concentrate, made with a high percentage of fruit and a low sugar content, without the addition of preservatives. This process not only enhances the natural flavor, but also preserves the fruit's beneficial properties, such as vitamins and minerals.

More than just jams: our selection of sweets tells the story of Sicilian pastry-making, an art deeply rooted in the cultures that have traversed the island. From traditional almond pastries to pistachio and chocolate desserts, every bite is a sensory experience that evokes the richness and diversity of Sicilian flavors. Our desserts are the perfect accompaniment to a coffee, herbal tea, or simply a moment of pure indulgence.

Whether you enjoy them for breakfast on toast, as a filling for a tart, or as a creative pairing with cheeses, our desserts and jams are an explosion of flavor that brings Sicily right to your table.

Frequently Asked Questions about Homemade Desserts and Jams

1. What is the difference between jam and marmalade?
By law, marmalade refers exclusively to citrus products (oranges, lemons, mandarins). Jam is used for products made from other fruits. Our products are made with a high percentage of fruit and without additives, to ensure maximum flavor and naturalness.

2. Do your products contain preservatives?
No, our products are made using artisanal methods that exclude the use of preservatives, colorants, or chemical additives. Preservation is guaranteed by a sterilization process and the high-quality ingredients, which keep the product safe and delicious.

3. How should I store the jars once opened?
Once opened, jars should be refrigerated. To maintain freshness and flavor, we recommend consuming the product within 15-20 days of opening.

4. Can I use jams in recipes other than breakfast?
Of course! Our jams are incredibly versatile. You can use them as a filling for cakes and pies, to glaze white meats, or to create unexpected pairings with aged cheeses and cured meats, a classic Sicilian dish. Our citrus jams, for example, pair perfectly with cheeses like ricotta salata or pecorino.
