This fig jam is a true gastronomic jewel that combines authentic Portuguese flavors.
The fig used in this delicacy comes from the pingo de mel variety, grown in the picturesque region of Trás-os-Montes, Portugal. These figs are known for their natural sweetness and dense pulp, which provide an incredibly rich flavor experience. The orange, in turn, is harvested in the sunny Algarve region and adds a touch of balanced acidity to the sweet.
The surprising addition of cinnamon, a spice with a rich history, brings a unique layer of flavor to this creation. Cinnamon, which the Portuguese monopolized the sale of for two centuries, is imported from Sri Lanka, giving the sweet an extraordinary aromatic dimension and flavor.
This Fig and Orange Extra Jam with Cinnamon is perfect to pair with a variety of renowned cheeses, such as Serra de Estrela cheese (PDO), Brie de Meaux cheese, Brie de Melun cheese (PDO), Gorgonzola cheese (PDO) and Leyden cheese (PGI). Its culinary versatility also makes it an ideal accompaniment to gourmet dishes, such as foie-gras, cottage cheese cheesecake and many exquisite desserts.
This fig jam received a 1-star distinction at the 2017 Great Taste Awards in the United Kingdom. Allow yourself to taste the authenticity and refinement of Portuguese flavors with the Extra Fig and Orange Jam with Cinnamon from meia.dúzia®. A true delight for the senses.
Store in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate after opening and consume within 21 days.
