Baked Fig Ball

£7.95

The sweet, sticky fig paste is delicious with sharp, zesty cheeses such as a good Parmesan or Pecorino. The Seggiano Fig Ball comes from Cosenza, Calabria, in southern Italy. It is a delicious and traditionally ingenious way of preserving the juicy dottato variety of figs, which have tender skins, soft seeds and are unique to the region. The figs are pickled when plump and air-dried under nets before cooking for eighteen hours at a very low temperature. By this time they are sticky with caramelised fig juices.

Pairing Suggestion – strong blue cheeses like Bleu des Causses

Each fig ball weighs approx. 200g.
