Gables Delight uses local, natural ingredients with traditional techniques to create new jam and jelly flavors featuring Florida fruit.

Founder and chef Almudena Gudiel was born in Spain but grew up in France and always had a passion for cooking and making jams. She moved with her husband and two daughters to South Florida, and after raising her daughters, pursued her culinary degree, graduating valedictorian.

After seeing a lack of traditional jams in the Miami area, Gudiel started developing her own flavors. She ensures the freshness of ingredients by sourcing directly from local farms, respecting fruit seasonality and cooking in small batches, giving the jams the most flavor and consistency possible.

Gables Delight’s unique flavors, like Blueberry Lavender, Raspberry Roses or Strawberry Jasmine, as well as other local Florida fruit flavors like Mango Passion Fruit, Raspberry Lychee or Pineapple Coconut and their specialty Guava, have led to international recognition.
