Product Details

1. Brand/Manufacturer:

   • The product is likely produced by Ansu Foods, a Turkish confectionery and food manufacturer known for jams, preserves, and traditional sweets. Ansu Foods has a strong presence in Middle Eastern, African, and European markets, particularly in countries like Turkey, Egypt, and the Gulf region.
   • The "Extra Traditional" label suggests it may be a premium or heritage-style version, possibly using authentic recipes or ingredients.

2. Product Type:

   • Bitter Orange Peel Jam: This is a type of jam made from the dried peel of bitter orange (Citrus aurantium), a citrus fruit with a strong, aromatic flavor. It is commonly used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, often for desserts, pastries (like baklava or kunafa), or as a spread. The bitterness is balanced with sugar, and some versions may include spices like cinnamon or cloves.
   • Texture/Appearance: Typically thick, glossy, and dark amber due to the caramelization of sugars and citrus compounds. The texture may be slightly grainy or fibrous from the peel.

3. Ingredients (Likely):

   • Based on similar products, the jam may contain:
     • Bitter orange peel (primary ingredient).
     • Sugar (or honey, depending on the variant).
     • Water or citrus juice for extraction.
     • Possible additives: pectin (for thickening), citric acid (preservative), or natural flavors.
     • Some traditional versions may include:
       • Cinnamon, cardamom, or other spices.
       • A touch of vanilla or orange blossom water for aroma.
   • Allergen Warnings: Common allergens in citrus products include citrus fruits (orange peel) and potential traces of nuts (if cross-contaminated during processing, though unlikely in this case).
