Description

Fig Jam from our original producer, dating back 25 years

This is one of Carluccio's enduring products, with Anthony Carluccio selecting the producer himself.

Figs are picked at the ultimate point of ripeness in the orchards of our producers farm in Alba. Within hours of harvest they are simply cooked in a pot with the sole addition of cane sugar, a simple and ancient method that enhances the wonderful flavour of the figs. 

155g grams of figs are used to obtain every 100g of this splendid jam.

What makes our Fig Jam so special isn't just the fruit, but the rhythm of its creation. Our producer works in harmony with nature, harvesting only when the fruit reaches its absolute peak of ripeness.

  • Purity Over Plenty: Quality always takes precedence over quantity. We only produce what the land is willing to give each season.

  • The Morning Mist: The figs are harvested strictly by hand in the early hours of the dawn. By picking them while they are still cool and plump, we ensure the heat of the midday sun never touches the delicate skins, preserving their natural minerals and fibre.

  • Speed is Essential: To lock in the nutritional value and vibrant taste, the fruit is processed manually within mere hours of leaving the tree.

Versatile Jam for Breakfasts and more

This versatile preserve makes a stunning breakfast spread with croissant, fresh bread or toast, brings sweetness to a cheese board pairing well with sheep or goats cheeses. Try on a pizza, like on our restaurant menu, with goats cheese.

Piemonte

Piemonte (or Piedmont) is the second largest region of Italy, found in the north west of the country. Its largest city and the original capital of Italy is Turin, the bustling business and culture hub of northern Italy. Turin is filled with a mixture of 16th and 18th century renaissance, baroque and neo classical architecture. More up-to-date, it is also home to Juventus FC, one of Italy’s best football teams.

Moving away from the cities, Piedmont is known for its connection to the Alps. Almost half of the region is covered by mountains, making it one of Italy’s top skiing destinations. The geography of the region generates great agricultural farm land and it is best known for its grapes and wine production. Barolo and Barbaresco red wines are made from the Nebbiolo grape, and the sparkling Asti Spumante comes from the Moscato grape.

Besides wine, the region also produces a vast amount of Italian risotto rice. Arborio, Carnaroli and 11 other varieties of rice are grown in paddy fields, irrigated by river water.
