Caramelized figs: sweet traditions of Emilia-Romagna

Caramelized figs, a delicacy of traditional Romagnolo cuisine, are the result of an ancient peasant tradition.

Originally created to preserve fruit for a longer time and face the winters, caramelized figs today conquer tables with various recipes.

The production process

Harvesting occurs when the figs are slightly unripe, followed by a maceration with sugar and lemon juice.

The long cooking time is the secret to obtaining these delicious caramelized fruits, which pair perfectly with soft cheeses, piadina, desserts, or vanilla ice cream.

Tradition and innovation at the table

Casa Castellari, respecting Romagnolo tradition, creates caramelized figs that delight modern palates.

This delicacy can be served as an accompaniment to aged cheeses, as a decoration for ice creams or desserts, or even skewered with walnut halves.
