Extra Jam from Blackthorn Berries

Description

The family agricultural farm Pavlić has been engaged in conventional and organic agricultural production of fruit, vegetables, and cereals on approximately 15 hectares of farmland for several decades. In 1970, the tradition of cultivating and processing cabbage began, today a Croatian autochthonous variety known as "Varaždin cabbage," which has been preserved to this day using traditional processes and recipes. In 2004, we launched a project for the organic cultivation of the somewhat forgotten fruit species, elderberry. On an area of five hectares, the first registered plantation of this fruit species in the Republic of Croatia was established under ecological supervision. The plantation consists of 2,500 elderberry trees of the "Haschberg" variety, planted in a naturally untouched and protected environment in the Municipality of Orle. In 2007, we set up a production facility for processing fruit and vegetables and began developing the first organic products based on elderflower and berries. In collaboration with a team of agronomists and food technologists, we have developed a range of unique and recognizable homemade and organic products. In 2008, we planted a young quince orchard "Leskovače" and expanded our production program to include vegetable crops: tomatoes, beets, and potatoes.

Our mission is to unite the entire production process from cultivation and processing to the final product, including long-forgotten traditional plants, while respecting ecological and natural principles.
