Fine Italian Confectionary At Christmas

A delicate little confection bringing together some of Calabria’s most characteristic flavours.

Sweet, succulent figs from the hills around Cosenza are filled with a toasted almond and candied orange, then generously coated in smooth white chocolate. The soft, honeyed fruit contrasts beautifully with the almond’s gentle crunch, while the orange brings a bright citrus note that keeps the creamy white chocolate perfectly balanced.

Traditional Christmas Sweets Made with Figs

Made using the prized local Dottato fig variety, naturally low in seeds and celebrated for its full, tender flesh and naturally intense sweetness.

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  

Rich yet beautifully balanced, these are lovely with an espresso or cappuccino,  particularly when you want just a little something sweet alongside your coffee.

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.
