Fig Jam – The Taste of Mediterranean Summer in a Jar
Fig jam truly captures the essence of summer, sunshine, and the Mediterranean way of life. The sweet, juicy, deeply aromatic fig offers a uniquely rich flavour profile that is both exotic and comfortingly familiar. Its remarkable versatility makes it a favourite among gastronomes as well as those who appreciate simple, homemade flavours.
Since ancient times, the fig has been one of the most cherished fruits: the Greeks and Romans enjoyed it not only fresh, but also preserved as jam or dried. A cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine, fig jam is an indispensable companion to breakfasts and desserts across Greece, Italy, and the Middle East.
