Pain de Figues
Pain de Figues — pan de higo — a traditional Spanish fig and almond bread made from just two ingredients: 90% dried figs and 10% whole almonds. No added sugar, no preservatives, no flour. The figs are pressed together with the almonds into a dense, firm round that slices cleanly and holds its shape on a board. The sweetness is entirely natural — concentrated fig sugars developed during drying — and the almonds provide crunch and a nutty counterpoint throughout.
This is not bread in the conventional sense. It is closer to a fruit and nut confection — dense, chewy, intensely fruity, with visible fig seeds and almond pieces in every slice. The flavour is pure dried fig: honeyed, caramel-edged, with a gentle warmth. It has been made in Spain for centuries as a way to preserve the fig harvest through the winter, and it remains one of the most useful things you can put on a cheese board.
Slice thinly — it is dense and rich, and a little goes a long way. It pairs particularly well with hard, aged cheeses: Manchego, Parmigiano, Comté, Pecorino, Montgomery Cheddar. The sweetness of the fig against the salt and nuttiness of an aged cheese is one of the best combinations on a board. It also works with blues and with charcuterie.
Origin: Spain
Ingredients: Dried figs 90%, almonds 10%.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Once opened, wrap tightly and keep cool. Keeps well.
