Figue de Solliès

Figue de Solliés is a whole, fresh fig of the Bourjassote Noire variety, with a uniquely balanced flavor of acidity and sweetness, grown in the French region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, department of Var. The figs are violet with black veins and their texture is dense and firm.

On the inside of the fruit, the flesh is glossy and juicy with a dark red colour and numerous beige grains. Although the figs are shaped like a crushed teardrop, there is nothing to cry about, on the contrary, they smell beautiful, with a scent of red fruits such as watermelon, honeydew melon and strawberries.

Once bitten, it is crunchy, but soon becomes tender and full-bodied on the palate. These figs are a great accompaniment to game, pork and rabbit meat, as well as foie gras, salmon, ham and cheese, yoghurt and cottage cheese. Alternatively, wrap them with prosciutto slices, roast them with Roquefort or bake it into crumbly tarts with vanilla ice cream on the side.
