Can Malacosta is a family business in Ibiza founded in 1963, in 1993 we acquired a farm in San Carlos (Ibiza), where we currently have more than 5,800 fruit trees. For approximately 15 years we have been producing jam in an artisan way in our factory also located on the farm, where with the latest technology we can produce following the traditional recipe.
When we decided to start, our goal was, and is, that it was completely made in Ibiza, and that it was handmade, because handmade tastes better. Our jams have a fruit content of up to 110% per 100g, a very high percentage of fruit, more than conventional jams, it only contains fruit and sugar, and does not contain any additives, preservatives or thickeners. Their jams taste like what they should taste like, fruit.
We produce jams of peach, nectarine, fig, raspberry, bitter orange, cranberry, mixed fruit, strawberry and onion and caramelized onion sauces. Once the fruit has been picked and selected, it is cleaned and cut by hand, examining each piece. Then it is cooked over a low heat, only sugar is added and it is made to reach the exact cooking point. Once we have prepared the jam, we proceed to pack it, closing it hermetically, which guarantees the highest quality, both in texture and flavor. In this sense, due to the totally natural preparation, the color of the jams may vary, depending on the time of the year in which the fruit is collected.
