Miracle of the Orient

Figs, this highly nutritious fruit is originally from the Ancient Orient. They have become popular not only because of their pleasantly sweet taste, but in comparison to other fruits, they fill you up for a longer period of time. For many they were an important part of their livelihood. [1, 2]

Pearl of the Mediterranean

Mediterranean, even here you will enjoy the divine figs. Whether fresh or dried, you will find them in almost every traditional dish. Given their high nutritional value, it is not surprising that they have become the „daily bread“ of the local population. According to surviving writings, figs are a symbol of peace, abundance and prosperity. [3]

Origin and cultivation

Fully ripe, sun-dried

A significant disadvantage of figs is that they ripen very quickly. After harvesting, they must be immediately processed, in our case dried in the most gentle way, in the sun.

Free of sulphur dioxide and added sugar

The cherries are not treated with sulphur dioxide in the processing process, resulting in a darker colour and milder taste. They are not sweetened.

To avoid sticking

As sultanas are, themselves, a source of large amounts of natural sugars, they tend to glue together. Sticking is prevented by a thin layer of rice flour which is sprinkled on them.
