Melassa di Fichi, or in dialect U Melu e Ficu, is a dense and stringy product obtained by boiling figs slowly for about 8 hours. It is a true Calabrian specialty with a tradition that goes back centuries. Our grandmothers prepared it during the summer to have a supply to consume throughout the year. Melassa was used to make typical Christmas sweets such as Mostaccioli, Turdilli, and Impigliolate. This tradition has been preserved over time, and today Melassa has become a highly appreciated condiment also by chefs, who use it in both sweet and savory culinary preparations. Fig Melassa is a condiment that can replace balsamic vinegar, enhancing the flavor of sweet and savory dishes. It is excellent on fresh and aged cheeses, grilled meats and fish, and salads. It is delicious when used on ice cream, yogurt, panna cotta, pancakes, and crepes. Used for the production of characteristic Christmas sweets typical of Calabria. Why choose our Melassa di Fichi: it is a natural product, suitable for vegetarians and vegans, without preservatives and artificial colorings, versatile in the kitchen for sweet and savory recipes, and a highly prized traditional artisanal product. Storage instructions: keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources. After opening, store in the refrigerator. Pasteurized product. Glass bottle of 900 grams.
