Our redcurrant jam confectionery is handmade with love in a small Latvian family business.
Compared to blackcurrants, redcurrants are somewhat smaller and more tart. Whereas blackcurrants are more aromatic, almost too aromatic for some people. Red currants offer a good alternative here, especially for those who like a tart taste.
The Baltic and Scandinavian countries are known for their abundance of berries and fruit.
Many berries such as sea buckthorn, blueberries and cranberries grow naturally in the wild here or are cultivated as vitamin-rich foods, such as gooseberries and redcurrants.
In their small factory, Livija and her husband Pēteris turn these wonderful fruits into a fruit confection with a unique taste.
After many years of trial and error, the couple managed to find the perfect recipe that offers a good balance between taste, firmness and shelf life.
It therefore represents the perfect combination of aromatic redcurrant flavor and pleasantly soft bite.
Over time, the natural fruit sugar in the confectionery begins to crystallize, similar to the crystallization that occurs in honey. This is a natural process and is not a quality defect. The fine aroma does not suffer from this either.
