Jam & the Jar
Perfectly Made for Each Other
Tomato might not strike you immediately as the ultimate jam fruit, but then there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be. This particular jam has a subtle, aromatic basil taste, combined with a jalapeño kick, and can be perfectly preserved in a Consol glass jar for you to relish with some bruschetta and camembert.
