Candied figs

Candied figs, elegance and intensity in pastry

Candied figs hold a distinctive place among candied fruits. Their naturally sweet flesh, combined with delicate seeds, creates a refined texture that is both tender and slightly crunchy.

Candied whole, figs preserve their authentic identity: a balanced sweetness, a deep fruity flavour and a stable structure well suited to pastry and decorative uses.

Unlike dehydrated fruits , candied fruits are produced through a slow candying process. The fruit’s natural water is gradually replaced with sugar syrup, allowing candied figs to retain their softness and aromatic intensity.
