Blood Orange Confiture Casa Forcello® | Sicilian Blood Orange Marmellata from Lombardia (4.9 oz)

Sicily's Most Vibrant Citrus, Preserved by Lombardia's Most Passionate Artisan

There is a moment in winter when Sicilian blood oranges reach their peak — their flesh a deep crimson, their aroma intoxicating, their flavor a perfect tension between tart and sweet. Casa Forcello's Blood Orange Confiture captures that moment in a jar. Made from vibrant Sicilian blood oranges and crafted into an irresistible marmellata that is not too tart, not too sweet — just perfectly, sublimely balanced.

Behind every jar is Paola Calciolari, a former pharmacist who left her secure career to follow her true passion: producing the traditional condiments of Mantova, Lombardia, using her grandmother's handwritten recipes. Her confitures are made entirely by hand, sourcing the finest fruit and preserving it with extraordinary care — a highly labor-intensive process that produces results far superior to any commercial jam.

Why It Stands Out

• Sicilian Blood Oranges — the most prized citrus in Italy, harvested at peak season for maximum color and flavor
• Perfectly Balanced — not too tart, not too sweet — the hallmark of a truly great confiture
• Grandmother's Recipe — traditional Mantova preserve-making, unchanged for generations
• Handmade in Small Batches — extraordinarily fresh, chunky, and flavorful
• No Artificial Additives — pure fruit, pure craft

Flavor Profile

Bright and vibrant with the deep, complex citrus character of Sicilian blood oranges — berry-like undertones, floral aromatics, and a clean, refreshing tartness balanced by natural sweetness. Intensely fruity with a long, lingering finish.

Serving Suggestions

• Cheese boards — the classic pairing with BiancoSardo®, Nocetto di Capra, or any fresh chèvre
• Toast & pastries — spread generously on sourdough, brioche, or warm croissants
• Yogurt & breakfast — swirl into Greek yogurt or layer into a parfait
• Glazes — brush over roasted duck, pork loin, or pan-seared salmon
• Desserts — spoon over panna cotta, cheesecake, or vanilla gelato
• Cocktails — stir into Aperol Spritz, Negroni, or Campari soda for a blood orange twist
