Krinós Turkish Sun Dried Figs 336g (11.9oz)

Krinos Turkish Sun Dried Figs are 336g of whole sun-dried figs from Turkey — soft, naturally sweet, dried in the traditional Aegean method that concentrates the fig's honeyed flavour and produces the characteristically soft, yielding texture of properly sun-cured Turkish figs, packaged by Krinos, the Greek-American specialty food company that has been supplying the Mediterranean diaspora since 1956. Krinos Foods was founded in New York to bring authentic Greek and Middle Eastern pantry staples to the North American market — feta, phyllo, olives, tahini, and the dried fruits and nuts that Mediterranean and Middle Eastern households use in both everyday cooking and festive preparations, including the Turkish figs that the Eastern Mediterranean region has prized for millennia. Turkish dried figs carry the heritage of the Aegean fig orchards — the Smyrna fig region around İzmir that produces the figs considered the finest in the world, sun-dried in the traditional method that European and American food importers have sought since the Ottoman trade routes made Turkish figs a luxury export in the 17th century. Eat with cheese — fresh goat cheese, sheep's milk kashkaval, or aged cheddar — as the fig-and-cheese combination that Mediterranean cuisine has refined over centuries, chop into Christmas pudding or a Moroccan-style tagine, serve on a charcuterie board with prosciutto and walnuts, or eat as the naturally sweet, fibre-rich snack that needs nothing added to be completely satisfying.
