Borgunto Artisanal Fig Jam – A Traditional Tuscan Dessert

Our jam is made from ripe figs harvested by hand in the Arezzo countryside, selected at the perfect level of sweetness. Slowly cooked at a low temperature, it preserves the fruit's natural amber color and intense aroma, without preservatives or thickeners. Just figs and sugar for a velvety texture, perfect for enhancing cheeses, breakfasts, and Tuscan platters.

Origin and craftsmanship

Hand-picked Arezzo figs

The figs come from the farms in the Borgunto area, harvested between August and September when they reach full ripeness. Each fruit is individually selected to ensure firm flesh, natural sweetness, and consistent flavor.

Slow cooking and pure ingredients

Processing takes place in traditional, temperature-controlled boilers. This method preserves the fruit's volatile compounds, color, and texture, eliminating the need for artificial thickeners or preservatives. The result is a dense, velvety jam with an authentic flavor.

How to pair it and when to serve it

Pairings that enhance the taste

The sweet contrast of figs enhances aged cheeses like Pecorino Toscano DOP, 24-month Parmigiano Reggiano, and spicy Gorgonzola. It's also ideal on toast with butter for breakfast, as a filling for tarts, or to accompany quality cured meats on a traditional platter.

50g jar: practical and gourmet gift

The 50g format is designed for everyday consumption and as a food and wine gift. Elegant, light, and easy to include in baskets, tastings, or wine and cheese pairings, it brings a piece of Tuscany to the table without waste.

Description

Borgunto Artisanal Fig Jam — A Traditional Tuscan Dessert

Figs are among the oldest fruits grown in Tuscany, present on farms for centuries. Our jam is made from ripe figs hand-picked in the Arezzo countryside of Borgunto, selected one by one when they reach the perfect level of sweetness. Slow cooking at low temperatures preserves the natural amber color, intense aromas, and velvety texture that distinguishes artisanal jam from industrial ones.

  • Slow cooking in a copper boiler at low temperature: aromas and color intact
  • Just figs and sugar — no preservatives, no artificial thickeners
  • Hot packaging in sealed glass jar
  • Net weight: 50 g — elegant format also ideal as a gourmet gift

Recommended pairings

Extraordinary paired with aged cheeses: Pecorino Toscano DOP, 24-month Parmigiano Reggiano, and spicy Gorgonzola find the perfect sweet counterpoint in the fig. Excellent on toasted bread with butter for breakfast, as a filling for homemade tarts and biscuits, or to accompany quality cured meats on a Tuscan platter. Paired with our Chianti Riserva DOCG, it creates a memorable combination of flavors.
