Sweet-and-sour purslane

Description

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) is one of the oldest wild herbs in Mediterranean cooking — succulent, gently tart, with a fresh, wild flavour that few still know how to recognise. Preserved in a jar in a sweet-and-sour dressing, it becomes something entirely different: a characterful preparation, made to surprise.

Ours is made from the balance between the lively flavour of purslane (41%), the clean acidity of wine vinegar, the sweetness of sugar and the complexity of mixed peppercorns — black, pink, white and green. Extra virgin olive oil brings everything together and rounds out the profile. No preservatives, no artificial flavourings.

The result is a sweet-and-sour preserve with layers of flavour: fresh, gently tangy, with spicy notes that unfold slowly. Perfect as an appetiser on bruschetta, alongside fresh or aged cheeses, and with cured meats and cold cuts. Also excellent as a cold side dish or paired with fish dishes.

A product for the curious and connoisseurs — those who discover it will not forget it.
