Artibel Calabrian Figs, 200g

Attention, fig lovers! Artibel Baked Calabrian Figs are pure fig perfection. Succulent and sweet, they seduce with a luscious texture and concentrated fig flavor. For over 30 years, the Arlia family of Artibel has been creating fig delicacies from one of the world’s most renowned varieties which thrives in the Calabrian hills: the Dottato fig of Cosenza DOP. This particular variety is prized for its honey-sweet aroma and juicy pulp with very tiny seeds.

The figs are hand-plucked during the last sweltering summer days, once they have started to sun-dry on the branches. After a meticulous hand-selection, they are laid out on large mats to finish drying under the sun until reduced to a third of their size. They are then slowly baked until their natural sugars caramelize and glaze the figs.

Baked Calabrian figs are nature's candy—savor them like chocolate truffles or bonbons! They are a natural pairing with a variety of cheeses—from tangy goat cheese to rich Gorgonzola Dolce to fresh sheep’s milk ricotta—and salumi such as prosciutto, bresaola, and 'nduja.
