Artibel - Calabrian Fig Cake - 7 oz

Fig fans will love this dense, chewy and sweet cake made solely from succulent Dottato of Cosenza DOP figs. The southern Italian region of Calabria is famous for this fig variety which are prized for their honey-sweet aroma, juicy flesh and tiny seeds.

Artibel grows their own Dottato figs in the Cosenza province overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Hand-harvested at the end of summer, they are immediately laid on mats to sun-dry, their sweet flavors concentrating under the heat. Once fully dried, the figs are minced and packed together until they form this aromatic cake. 

How to use

Slice into wedges and savor each bite like candy with a glass of dessert wine or amaro. Serve on a platter with your favorite cheese and salumi or give it a rough chop and sprinkle over yogurt.
