Italian Confectionary At Christmas

Take a look at our Calabrian figs stuffed with almond and candied orange peel, coated in white chocolate.

Made with the local Consenza fig variety that has very few seeds, these chocolates are delicate masterpiece of Calabrese confections. The dried figs are simply stuffed with a toasted almond and generously coated in white chocolate.

Traditional Christmas Sweets Made with Figs

Our producer personally selects figs from small farms in the hills of Consenza. These "Dottato" or dotted figs are known for their very small seeds that make the flesh full and plump. They are elongated, almost tear drop shape with a sweet, verging on honey flavour. 

The figs are left to ripen on the plants and thank to the Calabrese climate they begin to naturally dehydrate whilst on the stem and manually harvested between August and October as Mother Nature dictates.      

Artfully dried in processes handed down through generations

Calabria

Known as the ‘toe’ of the ‘boot’ of the country, Calabria is the most southern region of mainland Italy. Its unusual mix of Mediterranean coastline and mountainous environments means it has high temperatures in the summer and low temperatures in the winter. Coupled with great hillside settings it creates the perfect climate for growing olives.

The summery heat allows for very hot chillies to grow, contributing to the most famous product of the region, nduja. This is a spicy chilli and pork fat spread which is usually smeared over toasted Italian bread.

No longer associated with the old influences of the Mafiosa, Calabria has been become an authentic, vibrant and bustling region of Italy.
