 Jams
In Montepulciano there aresome firms engaged in the biological cultivation of fruit trees and particularly of the local plums or wild plums (commonly known in this zone as "thighs of nun"). This fruit derives from a wild tree, then cultivated in orchard, and is typical of the area of Montepulciano hills.
The plum of Montepulciano has a taste quite particular and has, among other things, much-prized laxative virtues, that remain unaltered in our jam.
