Figs & pears jam

At the main square of Torrent (Baix Empordà) you will find MUSEU DE LA CONFITURA (that is the Museum of Jam). The entrance is free since it is in fact not a museum. It’s a shop for marmalade and jam. Or to be precise: it is “the” shop for marmalade and jam. Categorically. Reasons: First and foremost its quality. It may sound obvious but with sugar, you never know. It is often the case that excess sweetness covers for a lack of quality product. No way. We have been in the very kitchen and that is most certainly not the case. Second, the variety. Not only because of the extension (the catalogue covers dozens of products) but for the exclusivity of some of the combinations. Some may be so exotic that the best way to taste them is alongside meat, fish, or cheese.
