Jams

Cal Poly Jams
Cal Poly Food Science & Nutrition students have been making jam on campus for more than 40 years. What began as a food science lab exercise has grown to become a successful student-led commercial enterprise producing more than 15,000 jars annually. All products are produced in Bldg 24 in the FSN Pilot Plant where students work on a small-scale processing line. Students design, produce, package and market products under the direction of faculty and staff. There are currently four jam flavors, but our students are always thinking of new product ideas!

Olallieberry Spreadable Fruit

We source our olallieberry’s from an Alumni’s organic Family Farm in Aromas, CA. The olallieberry is unique to the Central Coast and is our signature spreadable fruit that has been produced in our labs for over 40+yrs! Be sure to grab a few jars, it is enjoyed by ALL.

Raspberry Jam
A tart jam, that’s perfectly balanced to be used for desserts, or slathered on your toasted English muffin. Our raspberry jam was developed in 2013 by some of our own food science students. Raspberries are sourced from Clovis, California.

Blackberry Jam
Our blackberry jam is a yummy jam, with nice chunks of berries. Great on toast, muffins, or as an ingredient for desserts. This flavor was developed in 2016 by some of our own food science students. Blackberries are sourced from Clovis, California.

Strawberry Jam
Seasonally made with Cal Poly Strawberry Center Strawberries. Since this item is seasonally made, if you see it on the shelf - Grab it! It sells out quickly and is delicious. Great for savory or sweet dishes or even by the spoonful! This jam is delicious on almost anything.
