Our Origins in Cheese
Before her jams were sitting on the shelves in many of the most highly regarded grocers around the country, Bonnie Shershow aimed to put her delicious jams on a shelf in Formaggio Kitchen, the renowned cheese shop in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The year was 1999.
After convincing the owner of Formaggio Kitchen to sell her small batch jams in a coveted spot on their shelves, she was also invited to create her crafted flavors in their kitchen on Sundays. The Cheese Mongers at Formaggio were always excited to taste and share their thoughts.
Using simple ingredients in small batches, Bonnie developed spectacular flavors that paired wonderfully with Formaggio Kitchen’s specialty cheeses. Thus, the deep origins of Bonnie’s Jams deliciously paired with artisan and farmhouse cheese.
Bonnie’s Jams are all natural, no-pectin preserves brewed in small batches with just a touch of sugar. Using mainly three ingredients, Fruit, Sugar, and Lemon Juice, Bonnie's Jams have 2X the fruit, 1/2 the sugar, and are cooked up to 4X longer than traditional jams. The results - deep, intense fruit flavors that pair beautifully with cheese and help create delicious dishes when used as an ingredient. Bonnie's Jams are available at your favorite grocery stores across the country.
