Fig jam

Borgunto Artisanal Fig Jam — A Traditional Tuscan Dessert

Figs are among the oldest fruits grown in Tuscany, present on rural farms for centuries. Our fig jam is made from ripe figs hand-picked in the Arezzo countryside of Borgunto, selected one by one when they reach the perfect level of sweetness. Slow cooking at low temperatures preserves the natural amber color, intense aromas, and velvety texture that distinguishes artisanal jams from commercial ones.

How we prepare it

• Fresh Italian figs picked when fully ripe — August/September
• Slow cooking in a copper boiler at low temperature: aromas and color intact
• Just figs and sugar — no preservatives, no artificial thickeners
• Hot packaging in sealed glass jar
• Net weight: 50 g — elegant format also ideal as a gourmet gift

Recommended pairings

Fig jam is extraordinary paired with aged cheeses: Pecorino Toscano DOP, Parmigiano Reggiano 24 months aged, and Gorgonzola piccante find the perfect sweet counterpoint in figs. It's also excellent on toast with butter for breakfast, as a filling for homemade tarts and biscuits, or to accompany quality cured meats on a Tuscan platter. Paired with our Chianti Riserva DOCG, it creates a memorable combination of flavors.
