The Kirkland Signature Organic Strawberry Spread is a two-pack of USDA organic strawberry jam at Costco, made with just organic strawberries, organic cane sugar, fruit pectin, and citric acid. It is a classic, sweet, real-strawberry spread with a short, clean ingredient list, and the two big 24-ounce jars mean you are set for a long time. It lives on the bakery and breakfast shelf, and it is a natural partner for a toasted Dave's Killer Bread mini bagel or a flaky Costco butter croissant with a smear of butter underneath.
Quick Take: A USDA organic strawberry spread with a clean ingredient list and classic sweet-berry flavor, in a value 2-pack. Verdict: Buy. Scores: Taste 5/5 · Value 5/5 · Convenience 5/5 · Stockpile Score ⅘.
First spread
This is the jam my kids actually ask for. It is sweet, bright, and full of real strawberry flavor, with soft bits of fruit throughout so it tastes like berries and not just sugar. The texture is a classic spreadable jam, not too stiff and not runny, so it glides onto toast and stays put. Because it is made with organic strawberries and organic cane sugar and nothing artificial, it is a feel-better version of the childhood classic. One bite on buttered toast and you remember why strawberry jam is a staple.
The price breakdown
The two-pack of 24-ounce jars runs around $8.59 to $8.99 at Costco (item #1975373). That is 48 ounces of organic jam for well under $9, which comes out to a great price per ounce. A single 12-ounce jar of organic strawberry jam at the grocery store often runs $4 to $6, so the Costco two-pack is a much better deal. For a family that goes through jam on toast, sandwiches, and baking, the value is excellent, and the second jar keeps sealed in the pantry until you need it.
What's inside
Nutrition snapshot (per 1 tablespoon / 18g, about 37 servings per jar): 40 cal · 0g fat · 0mg sodium · 9g carbs · 9g total sugars (8g added) · 0g protein. Notable: USDA Organic, made with organic strawberries and organic cane sugar, with a short four-ingredient label. Ingredients: organic strawberries, organic cane sugar, fruit pectin, and citric acid.
This is a traditional, full-sugar jam, so the sweetness comes largely from added organic cane sugar: 8 grams of added sugar per tablespoon. That is normal for classic strawberry jam, and the trade-off is that rich, sweet, nostalgic berry flavor. If you want a lower-sugar option, a no-sugar-added chia spread is the way to go, but if you want real-deal organic strawberry jam, this nails it.
How it tastes (and ways to use it)
The flavor is sweet, jammy, and intensely strawberry, the way a good classic jam should taste, with real fruit texture and a clean finish. It spreads easily and tastes great warm or cold. Keep it refrigerated after opening, and with two jars you can keep one in the fridge and one sealed in the pantry.
Beyond toast, this jam is a workhorse: PB&J sandwiches, swirled into yogurt or oatmeal, spooned over pancakes or waffles, layered into thumbprint cookies, or used as a filling for cakes and bars. It is lovely spread on a slice of the best banana bread, spooned over a stack of M&M pancakes for a sweeter breakfast, or paired with a tangy Trader Joe's whipped strawberry cream cheese on a bagel for a double-strawberry treat.
What other shoppers are saying
Costco shoppers love this jam for being organic, affordable, and genuinely tasty, and it is a frequent repeat buy. The most common praise is the clean ingredient list and real strawberry flavor at a great two-pack price. Parents like it as a lunchbox and breakfast staple the kids actually eat. The most common note is that it is a traditional full-sugar jam, so anyone specifically cutting added sugar may want a no-sugar-added option instead. A few shoppers also mention that the big two-pack is a lot of jam, so it is best for households that use it regularly.
Who it's for
This is for families, PB&J lovers, bakers, and anyone who wants a clean-label organic jam without a fancy price. It is perfect for toast, sandwiches, and baking. Skip it if you are specifically avoiding added sugar, or if you will not get through 48 ounces of jam in a reasonable time.
A few easy ways to use it: a classic PB&J, a jam-and-yogurt breakfast bowl, or a spoonful swirled into warm oatmeal. It also makes a great filling for homemade thumbprint cookies when you want a simple treat.
