the production process of Extra Apricot Jam

Extra Apricot Jam is a product that requires a careful and meticulous production process by the manufacturer. First, the apricots are carefully selected to ensure the quality of the final product. They are then washed and stoned to extract only the sweet and juicy flesh. This pulp is then slowly cooked with sugar and pectin, a natural thickening agent. During the cooking process, the jam is constantly stirred to prevent it from sticking to the pan. When the jam has reached the right consistency, it is poured into sterilised glass jars and sealed. It is important to note that Extra Apricot Jam is made without the addition of sodium and salt, making it a healthy choice for those following a low-sodium diet. Thanks to the care and dedication of the producer at every stage of the production process, a high quality jam is obtained, rich in flavour and with the freshness of freshly picked apricots.
