Confibor Elvas Candied Figs 250 g

Confibor Elvas Candied Figs 250 g is a Portuguese preserved fruit from Elvas, in the Alentejo, made in the town's old tradition of candied fruit. A sweet to share at the end of a meal or on a festive cheese board.

Flavour and texture

Candied figs are soft and dense, with a deep, honeyed, jammy sweetness and the little crunch of fig seeds. Rich, so a small piece goes a long way.

Food pairing

Slice them onto a cheese board with a mature Serra da Estrela, a Queijo de Azeitão or a blue cheese, with walnuts. Pour a tawny Port, a Madeira or a Moscatel de Setúbal.
