Tasty delicacies, sweet and salty, ready for savour
There is an important beehoney production in the Málaga province. There are companies dedicated to this apicultural sector practically in every municipality, yet Colmenar with its Museum of Honey stands out. Besides multi-flower honey, they produce the single-variery honeys as avocado honey, rosemary honey, thyme honey, orange blossom honey, chestnut honey, forest honey among others.
Our province is noted for a wide horticultural variety it has and that is perceived not only in its fields, but also in a wide range of preserves and jams that exist in the today´s market. Dozens of flavors are produced today in a traditional way with the aim to market not only within, but also outside the province.
A thorough selection of the fruits and vegetables cultivated in the proper surroundings and the eminently artisan making process enable Malaga companies and cooperatives dedicated to the vegetable preserves and jams to offer the guarantee of proven quality.
Among many varieties, we can find very original preserves like chestnut preserves, caramelized onion, roast peppers, olive pates, cherry tomatoes in oil, creams with pumpkin, quince or sweet potato as well as tomato, paprika, strawberry, orange, tangerine, mango, zucchini with vanilla or fig jams among others. As innovations, recently new Ronda, Pedro Ximén red wine jams and even gin tonic jams have appeared on the market.
Within the broad range of preserves, we can also highlilght delicious tomato sauses, avocado sauces, ratatouille, roast peppers, gazpacho or even ketchup. The local companies dedicated to the preserves are also characterized by organiz production.
