Serving Suggestions & Cooking Instructions

Character: With an impressive 80% fig content, this “Extra” jam captures the concentrated, “honeyed depth” of fruit ripened under the Puglian sun. It features a rustic, thick consistency with the “subtle seed texture” that fig lovers prize.

Method: This jam is remarkably low in calories compared to standard preserves (93 kcal per 100g). Serve at room temperature to allow the complex, floral sugars to soften, making it easier to spread or dollop.

The Connoisseur’s Cheese Board: This is arguably the most “exceptional with cheese” jam in the collection. It is a world-class partner for Gorgonzola Dolce, salty Pecorino, or a ripe Camembert. The honeyed sweetness of the fig acts as a bridge between the creamy fats and the sharp cultures of the cheese.

Savoury Meat Glaze: Use it as a refined glaze for Roasted Meats such as duck breast or pork loin. Brush it on during the final 10 minutes of cooking; the sugars will caramelise into a rich, deep purple coating with a sophisticated Mediterranean edge.

The Italian Breakfast: Spread a thin layer over a slice of toasted pannettone or a piece of walnut bread. The earthy notes of the nuts pair perfectly with the “rustic yet refined” profile of the figs.

Pastry & Crostini: Top a crostini with whipped ricotta and a small dollop of fig jam, finished with a sprig of fresh thyme. It also makes a wonderful filling for traditional Italian crostata (jam tarts).
