THE BEST COMBINATIONS WITH CHEESE
Besides being the stars of many homemade desserts, jams and marmalades can be delicious accompaniments to our meals, be it breakfast or a quicker snack, but also aperitifs and starters.
More and more often, the platters of cold meats and cheeses served during aperitif time are accompanied by jams, marmalades and honey. But what are the tricks to follow to create the best combinations?
Generally, sweet or softer cheeses should be accompanied by acidic jams, such as orange or citrus marmalade, which balance the flavour. We recommend pairing orange marmalade with cheeses such as Pistacchiotto or fresh Pecorino Toscano DOP.
On the contrary, more mature cheeses with a stronger taste go perfectly with sweeter jams, which enhance their organoleptic characteristics. For example, Fig Jam is excellent to accompany a cheese board composed of triangles of seasoned Tuscan Pecorino DOP and Brie.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “JAM” AND “MARMALADE”
Italian gastronomic culture is so rich in traditional products, both nationally and locally, that there is often a risk of confusion. The terms ‘marmalade’ and ‘jam’, for example, are used in everyday life as synonyms, but in reality these two products, according to the law, must contain certain types of fruit and in well-defined quantities to be defined as such.
- The term ‘Marmelade’ is used for those food products containing at least 20% citrus fruit.
- Jams, on the other hand, must contain at least 35% fruit, e.g. peaches, strawberries, cherries, apricots and so on.
- In addition, preserves that contain at least 45% fruit can also be defined as ‘extra jams’.
However, this distinction is relatively recent and dates back, in fact, to the 1970s/80s, when the states of the European Community decided to adopt the difference between jam and marmalade already present in the English culture of the United Kingdom, which distinguished between ‘marmelade’ and ‘jam’.
