Culinary Creations

Vista D’oro Farms has created a seasonal line of Artisanal Preserves using traditional cooking methods combined with distinctive flavour pairings. Our preserves are produced in copper pots and we use only in-season fruits, much of which is grown on our farm. Whether served on a cheese board or alongside fresh baked scones or hot buttered toast; our preserves are truly versatile, simply delicious and always seasonal! Serve as a decadent crepe filling, try them as an accompaniment for roast pork or simply enjoy them straight out of the jar!

We have created flavours for every season; I hope you enjoy them. - Lee
