Product Description
The Latest Gourmet Trend - Specialty jams and preserves are taking the place of watery jelly while marmalades are jazzing it up with tropical fruit flavors. The new spreads have moved out of the lunch box and marched on the hors d'oeuvre trays. They are now accompanying cheese, glazing meats, topping yogurt, and appearing in desserts. Sweet spreads go far beyond traditional uses and explode into new flavors with exotic fruits, berries and herbs. Our "Bulgarian Rose Hip Marmalade", known for its unique sweet and tangy flavor, is made from very rare rose hip berries that are picked in the mountain regions of the Balkan Peninsula. The hottest new jam flavor is one of the oldest - fig. Our customers like figs because they are good source of fiber and energy. Combine Fig jams with ham or proscuitto for elegant hors d'oeuvres. Our exotic mountain blueberries are the bestseller. They are also a natural source of antioxidants. Pair with Bulgarian feta cheese on crackers. Looking for something different to compliment your cheeses? Sour cherry and quince preserves are the top two preserves for cheeses. Try them with Bulgarian feta cheese or Kashkaval to pique interest and create a new gourmet buzz.

Summary: pergamot is NOT quince 2008-05-09
Comment: pergamot is NOT quince...it is BERGAMOT - they do look somewhat similar in the picture on the label. Bergamot is a citrus, famous for flavoring earl gray tea. this product is probably very nice but seems overpriced. it can be added to marinades, muffins, bbq sauce, salad dressings...as well as spread on toast.
quince is also wonderful flavor, but not citrus at all, more like apple.

Summary: very good, unique 2007-11-26
Comment: "Pergamot" was translated for me as "quince," so this is candied quince. The fruit is in a very thick sugar syrup which has little flavor itself. There is a very, very slight lemony aroma to the pergamot. The fruit itself is thick and in rather large chunks, which have an unfamiliar, almost crumbly, soft, and an unexpectedly dry texture. The taste is much more like lemons or citron than any other fruit, and is very mild. I would rate it is as "good to very good," definitely a unique item, not just an unusual version of a familiar American item. It is something I am glad I tried but I think I would try many other items from the flood of Mediterranean preserved items available before I tried this one again.
