Handcrafted Extra Pear Jam | Geocakes

Handcrafted Jam from São João Pears

Geocakes' Extra Pear Jam is made in Idanha-a-Nova, at the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark, Portugal's first UNESCO Global Geopark. Prepared with São João pears, with the fruit's skin worked into the recipe, this extra jam delivers a more intense flavour and an enveloping texture, true to the preserving methods passed down through generations in Beira Baixa.

Whole Fruit, True Flavour

By keeping the pear's skin in the preparation, Geocakes preserves part of the fruit's natural richness and achieves a jam with more character, more texture and greater depth of flavour. The result is a jam with a creamy texture and a balanced taste, lifted by a touch of cinnamon that warms every spoonful.

Rooted in Tradition, Made by Hands that Know How

Made by Chefs Raquel and Mário Rui Ramos, this extra jam follows handcrafted fruit-preserving methods passed down through generations in the Beira Baixa region. Every jar reflects respect for the fruit's right time and for the land that grew it, with no rush and no industrial shortcuts.

A Flavour with Territorial Identity

More than a jam, this extra preserve is a portrait of Idanha-a-Nova and the UNESCO-recognised territory. Every spoonful brings whoever tastes it closer to the landscapes, orchards and know-how that have defined Beira Baixa for generations.

A Simple, Honest Recipe

The recipe combines only pear, sugar and cinnamon, with no additives or unnecessary ingredients. It's this simplicity that lets the fruit's natural flavour be the true star of this extra jam, from the first spoonful to the last.
