Description

Fichi al Rhum – Chopped Calabrian figs, orange peel and ground walnuts mixed together, fed with rum and coated in dark chocolate

Open the paper and you’ll instantly get the aroma of rum wafting into the air, you are then in for a treat!

This fig bar is made with the same ingredients as the chocolate coated figs: figs, the local variety of Fico Dottato del Cosentino, walnuts and candied peel are blended together. The mix is “fed” with rum, allowed to rest for a day, formed in the moulds and finally smothered in dark chocolate.

A very grown up treat! The flavours blend perfectly and the rum gives it a warm, aromatic taste.

Slice as thinly or thickly as your heart desires and enjoy with espresso after a meal.

Region

Calabria

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.
