Marmalades and jams is a subcategory of over 25 products, represented by the brands Las Doňas and Lorusso. The core of the range is made up of classic fruit marmalades - blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, peach, mango, mandarin and forest fruit marmalade, complemented by the unusual combination of kiwi and cava. A speciality of the range is the sweet-and-savoury onion marmalade with raisins, a traditional accompaniment to cheeses and pâtés.
How to find your way around this category
Fruit marmalades are well suited to breakfast with bread, in yoghurt or as a filling for pastries. The shades of flavour range from the classic (strawberry, blueberry) to the more exotic (mango, mandarin, kiwi and cava). Onion marmalade with raisins is a sweet-and-savoury speciality, traditionally served with cheeses, pâtés or grilled meat, not as a sweet spread.
The Lorusso brand offers larger 305 g packs, Las Doňas smaller 250-285 g ones - suitable depending on whether you want to try several flavours at once.

Onion marmalade - a sweet-and-savoury classic
Onion marmalade with raisins is a popular European gastronomic speciality that combines caramelised onion, sugar and raisins into a thick, sweet-and-savoury spread. It balances the saltiness of hard cheeses or the rich flavour of pâtés and foie gras superbly, and it is one of the classic accompaniments to cheese and meat boards.
Try onion marmalade with roast meat or a hamburger as well - it works as a quick substitute for home-made caramelised onion.
