Monastero Trappiste Vitorchiano More Blackberry Extra Jam

This product is an artisanal blackberry extra jam (Confettura Extra di More) produced by the Cistercian nuns of the Monastero delle Trappiste in Vitorchiano, located in the province of Viterbo, Italy. The monastery has been famous since the 1970s for its high-quality jams, made using traditional methods without added pectin or artificial additives, often containing a very high fruit content (typically over 65g of fruit per 100g of finished product).

The brand is entirely owned and operated by the religious community of the monastery itself. This 'monastic' production model is a core part of their self-sufficiency and spiritual mission, following the Rule of Saint Benedict which emphasizes living by the work of one's hands. While their products—including wines, jams, and honey—are distributed through various specialty Italian food retailers and organizations like PIME (Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions), the ultimate ownership remains with the monastic institution.
