Tear into a Bourjassotte Fig — you’ll find fleshy, fiercely red pulp, with the sweetness that has earned it its reputation (and geographically protected status). Today, most figs are bred and grown for hardiness — the key to withstanding transit. Small-scale growers in the Solliès basin, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, are entirely committed to flavour. Generations of growers know exactly how much to prune, when to harvest and how to pack, always with the stalk down, to protect their delicate skins. By allowing their fruits to come to full maturity on the branch, they make them delicate and more susceptible to damage. However, this is the key to developing an unrivalled concentration of sugars. We flex our supply chain to bring you the figs at this level of ripeness. #figs #frenchfigs #bourjassottenoire #figseason
