{"id":1882,"count":8,"description":"<h4>COMPOUNDS AND JAMS<\/h4>\r\nAmong the fruit and vegetable products of Italian farms, we find compotes of peppers, chillies, onions and much more, Mediterranean fruit <strong>jams and marmalades<\/strong>, from peaches to lemons or citrus fruits.\r\n[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]\r\n\r\nCompote means a preparation consisting of a very high percentage of fruit (or vegetables) and very little sugar, which, in some cases, is completely absent. By law, we speak of fruit compotes only if they contain at least 65% fruit (in 1 kg of compote there must be at least 650 g of fruit).\r\nIn summary, a compote is richer in fruit and lower in sugar than jams and marmalades.\r\nIn current usage, the term compote often refers to sweet and sour sauces based on fruit or vegetables, such as tomatoes, onions or peppers, useful to garnish appetizers or to accompany cheeses and boiled meats, similar to Indian chutney.\r\n\r\nFruit preserves have very ancient origins. In fact, the Greeks already boiled quinces together with honey to thicken the sugars contained and obtain a preserve. In Rome, on the other hand, fruit was immersed in a mixture of raisin wine, cooked wine, must or honey.\r\n\r\nOnly with the Crusades did sugar arrive in Europe so we can speak of jam, produced with a method very similar to the current one, only from the Middle Ages.\r\n\r\nEven today, compotes, preserves and jams are an essential element of Mediterranean cuisine and made in Italy.\r\n\r\nCURIOSITY\r\n\r\nThe term marmalade derives from the Portuguese \u201cmarmelada\u201d, meaning \u201cjam jam\u201d, or quince. The word marmelo derives from the Latin melim\u0113lu (m), which, in turn, comes from the Greek mel\u00edm\u0113lon, composed of m\u00e9li 'honey' and m\u00ealon 'apple'.\r\n\r\nOriginally, therefore, the term \"jam\" indicated \"quince\", but then it was applied to jams made with all types of fruit.\r\n\r\n\"Jam\" instead derives from confection, used to indicate food preparations intended for conservation.\r\n\r\n\"Compote\", finally, comes from the French comp\u00f4te, in turn deriving from the Latin comp\u014dsita, feminine of the past participle of comp\u014dnere.\r\n\r\nIn the work of Artusi, a famous Italian writer, gastronome and literary critic, various compote recipes are listed, including that of apricots, pears, quinces and rice.\r\n<em>[\/expander_maker]<\/em>","link":"https:\/\/itmadein.com\/en\/product-category\/food\/compote-jams-and-marmalades\/","name":"Compote jams and marmalades","slug":"compote-jams-and-marmalades","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":1880,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Compote jams and marmalades made in Italy products<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Compote jams and marmalades made in Italy products .
