Clif Family Napa Valley Organic Peach Preserves
Made from peaches grown organically on the Clif Family Napa Valley, these peach preserves are sweet and tart with plenty of punchy, fresh peach flavor—unlike other versions that have almost a sulfuric flavor from being overcooked. With a pleasant texture that isn’t too runny but loose enough to spread, it’s great lathered on top of pancakes or biscuits, or added to a bowl of yogurt.
Clif Family Farm Organic Red Pepper Jam
We’ve been looking for a good pepper jam for awhile. Not to be confused with the popular red pepper jelly, which has a gel-like consistency and is strained to eliminate solids, red pepper jam is a thick spread containing small bits of pepper to add texture. Some versions we tried were too hot or weren’t jammy enough while others were overly stiff with a hard, crumbly texture. But when we tried this rendition from Clif Family Napa Valley, we knew we had a winner. Pourable, with a lovely red hue and perfect sweet to tart balance with a mild heat level, it makes for a great addition to cheese boards, sandwiches, veggies or as a glaze for duck or other game birds. You can even toss it with wings, or drizzle it on a pizza for a sweet and salty hit.
Clif Family Napa Valley Organic Strawberry Preserves
We’ve tasted a lot of strawberry jams and these preserves, by Clif Family Napa Valley, stand out from the crowd. They strike the perfect balance between sweet and sour, thanks to the organic strawberries harvested at just the right time in Napa Valley, California. Plus, they’re well-textured, not too runny but loose enough to spread, with sweet bits of fruit speckled throughout each bite. Add them just about anywhere, but we especially love a spoonful atop vanilla ice cream or drizzled over french toast.
Clif Family Napa Valley Organic Fig Preserves
We love these thick, spreadable fig preserves, made from figs that are organically grown on the Clif Family Farm in California’s Napa Valley. They have a lovely hint of acidity from the addition of lemon, which keeps the flavor from being too cloying. With a pleasant texture that doesn’t give you a mouthful of seeds, it’s a wonderful add-on to a cheese board but also delicious treated as a breakfast jam or spread on sandwiches.
Clif Family Napa Valley Organic Smoked Spanish Pimenton Almonds
Inspired by Spanish flavors, these addictive spiced almonds from Clif Family Napa Valley have strong but not overwhelming notes of smoke from bold smoked paprika. The paprika, which is traditionally made by smoking peppers over a fire before grinding them into a powder, provides a hint of a barbecue sauce sweetness to the almonds but is balanced out well with a pinch of salt. Cumin and garlic powder add savory base notes while a small amount of cayenne pepper lends just a touch of heat. Add to a charcuterie board or simply snack on them as is.
Clif Family Napa Valley Organic Rosemary Roasted Almonds & Pistachios
Consider these the ideal elevated cocktail nuts, savory and salty with a pleasant rosemary flavor, as well as notes of garlic and a touch of heat from cayenne pepper. The combination of pistachios and almonds adds a buttery quality that we love, plus they are roasted to perfection. Use on a cheese or charcuterie board or just eat as an afternoon snack.
