French Olbia Strawberry Mara des Bois Jam

Of all varieties of strawberry, the mara des bois is our favorite. This jam is sold in all the best cheese shops in France. Olbia jams are made with perfect table quality fruit harvested at optimal ripeness for rich, authentic flavors and maximum fructose content, which means less added sugar. The fruits are harvested in the morning, cooked in small batches, and hand-filled in jars by the afternoon. Olbia is unique among jam makers in always using fresh fruit, never frozen, which are hand-picked in open fields--no greenhouses or hydroponic cultivation. Olbia specializes in old fruit varieties selected for their taste. These fruits are grown in the best-fruit-growing lands in the Var, Provence, and Corsica, and in Olbia’s own orchards and gardens, located in Hyeres. The jams are made with a minimum of 65% fruit pulp from whole fruit, fructose naturally contained in the fruit, topped up with up with cane sugar to meet minimum legal sugar content (55° Brix), with natural fruit pectin
