Founded by husband and wife team Sophie Kaftal and Bobby Zielinksi in 2012, our artisan jams, jellies and marmalades are made completely by hand in small, limited batches in our shop & jam kitchen at 1414 Dundas Street West, Toronto, Canada.
Our preserves are made traditionally in small batches, using local and/or sustainably farmed fruit whenever possible. Many of our ingredients are sourced from family-owned farms dedicated to sustainable and healthy farming practices. Our relationships with our suppliers allow us access to the season’s best crops and the freshest fruits possible, as well as ensuring quality by minimizing the time and steps from tree to jar.
Using classic methods of preserving, meticulously chosen fruits are blended by hand in small batches with a focus on freshness and purity.
Produced in our nut-free facility, each and every jar of KATB preserves are filled, capped, polished and labeled completely by hand to ensure an incredibly high level of quality control. Our jams undergo regular tastings and are assessed for balance of flavour, brightness of colour, and overall freshness.
