NEW! Nectarine + Yuzu Rose Jam Collab with V Smily

NEW COLLAB SPICED JAM!

We are thrilled to partner with V Smily Preserves of Vermont on this jam made with V Smily's signature sweetener, honey. 

Nectarine and lemon jelly interspersed with lemon chips and nectarine chunks for texture. Curio Spice Co.’s Yuzu Rose Green Tea is ground and swirled into the jam as it finishes cooking.

Lemon always helps pop fruit flavors while nectarines provide sweetness and body. Together they lay the foundation for this flavor’s star ingredient, Curio's Yuzu Rose Green Tea!

CHEESE PAIRING: Marmalades, even super delicate ones like this flavor, pair well with hard, aged cheeses, but this flower and citrus-forward flavor will also delight an unctuous and soft triple cream.

INGREDIENTS: honey, nectarine, lemon, green tea, rose buds, yuzu zest, lemon zest, coriander, timut pepper

About V Smiley:

The child of 1970’s back-to-the-lander parents, V Smiley grew up farming in rural Vermont. An educational background in writing and art history landed V in Los Angeles working in the arts. An abrupt decline in V’s health placed food at the heart of everyday life, what to cook, what to eat and how to feel good. Out of this, V began cooking professionally, first in Los Angeles and then in various Seattle area restaurants. In 2012, V began to form a plan whose final goal was opening a restaurant back home in Vermont. Starting V Smiley Preserves in Seattle, surrounded by mentorship and opportunity was step one. Next would be the move back to Vermont. That happened in 2015. Finally, in 2022, Minifactory (the production home of V Smiley Preserves and a community restaurant/bakery/market that celebrates preserves in food) opened its doors on Main St in Bristol Vermont. Entering its 11th year, V Smiley Preserves has earned distinction with multiple Good Food Awards and most proudly, defining and perfecting a very particular way of making fruit preserves using only fruit, honey and aromatics.
