Weltevrede Green Fig Preserve 500g

Description

Small green Cape Brown figs, bottled in syrup with cloves. Figs are firm with a young fig leaf aroma. Ideal for cheese platters with strong gorgonzola or sharp cheddar. Also perfect for fruit cakes and other baked goods. Pairs well with coconut, chocolate and berry flavours.

Weltevrede is one of the first fig farms in South Africa. It started out as a fruit-drying farm: drying peaches, apricots and figs. Today we have about 2000 trees and we sell dried fresh and bottled figs. We farm mainly with Adam Figs, a big purple fig, excellent for drying and selling fresh. We use the tiny Cape Brown figs for making Green Fig Preserve and other fig products.

The dried figs have been made on this farm since Ouma Sienie started making them, and we have clients that had been getting dried figs from this farm, every year, for 50 years.
