Cao Phong Orange Jam – Preserving the Essence of Cao Phong Oranges
Key Characteristics: Cao Phong Orange Jam is a premium jam made from fresh, ripe oranges grown in the renowned Cao Phong district of Hoa Binh province. Known for its golden hue, delicate aroma, and naturally sweet flavor, Cao Phong oranges are a symbol of abundance and quality. This jam captures their full essence, transforming the fresh fruit into a product that is both delicious and nutritious, while extending its shelf life without the use of artificial colors or flavors.
Origin & Ingredients: The jam is made from carefully selected oranges harvested from VietGAP-certified orchards, ensuring each fruit meets strict standards for ripeness, sweetness, and quality. Only clean, undamaged fruits are chosen. After harvest, the oranges are washed using an ozone cleaning process to remove bacteria and impurities from the skin, then peeled, deseeded, and separated into pulp for cooking.
Processing Method: The pulp is blended with premium Lam Son golden apricot sugar at a ratio of 500–700g per 1kg of fruit pulp. The mixture is slow-cooked under vacuum at a low temperature of about 45°C for 2–4 hours, depending on the fruit type and batch size. This gentle, sealed, low-pressure process helps retain the jam’s natural color, the essential oils from the orange peel, and valuable nutrients such as vitamin C and flavonoids. The slow cooking method also minimizes oxidation, resulting in a soft, chewy texture and a pleasant, natural sweetness.
Flavor Profile: Cao Phong Orange Jam has a vibrant orange-gold color, a delicate citrus fragrance, and a mild sweetness balanced with the light, distinctive aroma of orange peel. The texture is smooth yet slightly chewy, making it both satisfying and refreshing.
Nutritional Value & Uses: Rich in vitamin C, natural enzymes, and dietary fiber, the jam supports immune health, aids digestion, and offers antioxidant benefits. It can be enjoyed in many ways:
- Eaten directly as a healthy snack
- Spread on bread or pastries
- Used as a topping for yogurt, cakes, and desserts
- Brewed with warm water to make a soothing tea that helps relieve coughs and warms the throat. For a detoxifying drink, pair it with 3T Farm’s orange detox beverage for a refreshing and health-boosting combination.
Packaging & Storage: The jam is packed in sealed jars with clear labeling and QR codes for traceability. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Once opened, keep refrigerated for best quality.
