Just a few kilometers from the Portuguese border, in Spain’s Extremadura region where heat and drought create a unique climate, exceptional white Spanish figs are grown – small, intensely flavorful, and naturally sweet. It is here, in the village of Almoharín, that one of the world’s finest desserts is born – a treat that has earned awards two years in a row at the prestigious New York food fair.
Artisanal Craftsmanship and Careful Selection
Each fig is hand-selected, picked only when perfectly ripe and of a small size. After selection, they are gently washed and sun-dried for 48 hours under the open Spanish sky, preserving their natural sweetness and texture. This process ensures a unique balance of flavors – between the richness of dried fruit and a soft, fruity texture.
A Secret Filling and the Magic of Chocolate
Inside each fig is a delicious filling, made with a recipe that is carefully guarded as a secret. To finish, a thin layer of smooth chocolate coats the fig, transforming it into a true delicacy. Each piece is individually wrapped, like a little festive wonder, ready to be shared or savored in solitude.
Taste and Serving Suggestions
These figs are a perfect companion to coffee, fine wine, or cheese – and also make an exceptional gift for gourmets. Their rich yet delicate flavor, where fruitiness, caramel, and chocolate come together, leaves an enchanting aftertaste.
