Agrimontana Confettura Extra Visciolata Wild Cherries Spread

Agrimontana Confettura Extra Visciolata is a premium artisanal wild cherry jam produced by Azienda Agrimontana. The company was founded in 1972 by Cesare Bardini in Borgo San Dalmazzo, located in the Piedmont region of Northern Italy. This specific product, 'Visciolata,' is made from wild sour cherries known as visciole, which are prized for their intense color and balanced sweetness.

Agrimontana is renowned for its commitment to natural ingredients, using high fruit concentrations (often exceeding 70-100g of fruit per 100g of finished product) and traditional slow-cooking methods at low temperatures to preserve the fruit's organoleptic properties. The manufacturing process remains centered in Italy, specifically at the company's facilities in Cuneo.

Since 2006, Azienda Agrimontana has been part of the Illy Group (Polo del Gusto), a strategic alliance of high-quality food brands including Illy coffee, Domori chocolate, and Dammann Frères tea. Despite being part of this larger corporate structure, the brand maintains its family-led heritage under the management of the Bardini family.
