Fig, Honey, and Walnut Preserve from Provence

Solliès, Provence. The figs from here have their own protected designation of origin, one of the few fruits in France to have achieved this status. Honey and walnuts round off the jam, making it more than just fruit and sugar.

It's a classic end to a French cheese board, not a made-up flavour combination.

What makes it unique

The combination of figs, honey and walnuts is an old Provencal custom rather than a modern invention. The walnuts add texture to the soft fig flesh, something most fig jams completely lack.

Tastes good with

• Chèvre or Roquefort
• On a cheese board
• Toast
• A spoonful with yogurt after dinner

Good to know

• Approx. 130g in a screw-top jar
• Walnut pieces are clearly visible in the jam
• Once opened, keeps for 3-4 weeks in the fridge
• Unopened shelf life approx. 18 months
