Product Description
Made from organic strawberries and fairly traded organic sugar from Otisa Sugar Mill in Paraguay. Perfect on toast, delicious in yoghurt, a treat on a scone.
Weight: 340g jar.
Certified by the Soil Association. Suitable for vegetarians & vegans.
About the Supplier: Salvador Delgadillo Rotela is one of the earliest farming members of this co-op, and currently the president. Salvador and his family have farmed in this area for as long as he can remember, and he still lives in what was his grandfather's home. He has 4.5 hectares of land and has hired a further half-hectare to grow sugar cane.
The organic sugar used comes from the Otisa Sugar Mill, in Arroyos y Esteros, Paraguay, and the fair trade premium is shared by the approximately 80 local farmers who make up three of the co-ops supplying the sugar cane to the mill.
"It's back-breaking work so some of the premium is being used to buy one hectare of land on which they plan to build a mechanical 'crane' to load the bundles onto the trucks. It will also provide a meeting point for farmers with their crop. Farmers will make a small payment to use of these facilities but they will be available to everyone in the area - not just the co-op members."

I had been looking forward to my strawberry jam arriving to put in my porridge but was disappointed with this purchase. It's a thick jam, which I like, but sadly lacking in flavour. I found that it didn't taste of much except sweetness/sugar. It wasn't recognisable as strawberry and no where near as good as an alternative brand that I purchased previously. I'm surprised by the other reviews being so positive - maybe I just had a bad batch.
