The Origin of Our Figs in Syrup
Our figs come from the fertile fields of La Vera, in the province of Cáceres, Extremadura. This region, renowned for its favorable climate and rich soil, is ideal for cultivating exceptional fruits. The figs, grown under the warm August sun, are handpicked, a traditional technique that ensures only the fruits at their peak ripeness are selected.
Artisanal Preparation and Preservation
Each fig is carefully blanched in hot water to maintain its texture and then submerged in a special syrup that preserves its natural sweetness without losing its essence. This preservation process not only enhances the flavor of the figs but also gives them a soft, juicy texture, perfect for various culinary combinations.
