One Love Apricot Goji Cardamom

Estate apricots, sweetened only with grapes. Goji and cardamom in the background.

The same hills that hold the estate's olive groves also hold its orchards, and this jar is what they taste like: apricots at seventy-one percent, with the estate's own goji berries behind them and cardamom at a tenth of a percent — a spice India knows in its sleep, used the Italian way, which is barely.

The sweetening is the quiet radical part: grape sugar, no cane. The jar tastes of fruit first and sweetness second, which is the right order.

Spread it thick on the morning bread. Spoon it over yogurt or into porridge. Set it beside a cheese board.

Meet the House: An Emilia-Romagna estate where the oil, the preserves, and the honey all come from its grounds.

Complete your table: Cantucci Almond, Mattei — breakfast, upgraded · Pandesco Organic, Palazzo — the estate's oil beside its fruit · Truffle Honey, Savini — the other end of the sweet shelf.
