The typical melon from the island of Graciosa is known for its juicy flavor. The production of its jam is carried out following a traditional recipe, passed down from generation to generation. The process begins with the careful selection of ripe fruit, hand-picked by local producers. They are then washed and cut into pieces before being cooked in a sugar and water broth. The result is a high quality jam, much appreciated on the island and by tourists who visit Graciosa.
