Feigen Woche

Our “Great Fig Week” is just around the corner, and we have put together a variety of delicious fig products for you to use creatively in your kitchen.
Figs, in their dried form and as processed products, are true delicacies and rightly enjoy great popularity. In this blog post, we'll show you how versatile figs can be in various products and how you can incorporate these culinary treasures into your everyday life.

Figs – A fruit with tradition and variety

The fig is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world. It originates from the Mediterranean region and is an important culinary ingredient in various cultures. Figs are also very popular here—especially in processed form. From dried figs to fig jam and fig vinegar, these versatile products offer delicious flavors year-round.

Dried figs – the sweet classic

An absolute highlight during Fig Week are our dried figs . They are perfect as a snack or as an ingredient in various dishes. Their sweet, intense flavor makes them the ideal addition to both sweet and savory creations.

Ideas for using dried figs:

  1. Simple snack for in between
    Dried figs are ideal as a sweet, easy-to-prepare snack. They're easy to transport and always on hand when you need a quick snack.

  2. Refining baked goods
    Dried figs are a wonderful ingredient for bread, cakes, or muffins. Their sweet flavor blends particularly well in fruit breads or combined with nuts in muesli bars.

  3. Enhance savory dishes
    Dried figs also pair perfectly with savory dishes. Try them in a salad with goat cheese and walnuts, or as a special ingredient in a poultry stuffing. You can also try them in a regular salad.

Fig jam – the sweet all-rounder

Fig jam is a true highlight for any breakfast table. It's not only perfect as a sweet spread for bread or croissants, but also adds an exciting flavor to savory dishes. Fig jam combines the natural sweetness of the fruit with a light, fruity acidity, making it a perfect complement to many dishes.

Ideas for using fig jam:

  1. On toast, rolls or croissants
    Fig jam is a delicious spread for breakfast. Enjoy it on fresh bread or croissants—the perfect blend of sweetness and fruitiness makes for a great start to the day.

  2. Cheese accompaniment
    Fig jam pairs perfectly with a cheese platter. This sweet jam pairs particularly well with strong cheeses like blue cheese, Camembert, or mature goat cheese.

  3. Refining sauces
    Use fig jam to enhance sauces. It pairs particularly well with meat dishes like game or pork. A spoonful of fig jam adds depth and rounds out savory flavors.

Fig vinegar – fruity seasoning for your kitchen

Another highlight of Fig Week is fig vinegar . This fruity vinegar is ideal for anyone looking to add a sophisticated, fruity touch to their cooking. Fig vinegar is perfect for salad dressings and for refining meat dishes.

Possible uses for fig vinegar:

  1. Salad dressings with a special touch
    Fig vinegar is the perfect base for a unique salad dressing. Combine it with olive oil, a little honey, and mustard to create a unique dressing that pairs particularly well with arugula, nuts, and fruit.

  2. Sauces and marinades
    Add a fruity touch to sauces and marinades with fig vinegar. It pairs particularly well with game, pork, or poultry dishes. A splash of fig vinegar in the sauce adds extra freshness and depth.

  3. Refining cheese and fruit
    A few drops of fig vinegar on cheese or fresh fruit like pears or apples takes the flavor to a new level. This combination is perfect for a sophisticated appetizer or dessert.

Fig chutney – sweet and spicy at the same time

This fig chutney offers a perfect balance of sweetness and spice and is a wonderful addition to many savory dishes. Combining the fruity notes of figs with various spices, it's ideal as a dip, sauce, or side dish.

Fig chutney in the kitchen:
