Dried Figs Fichi di Cosenza PDO

History

The Dottato variety grown in the province of Cosenza provides an excellent dried product thanks to the natural environment that determines its quality.

The Cosenza fig quality has been historically renowned for centuries worldwide. Indeed, as early as 1864, it was recognised that 'Such is the sweetness of the fig and the beauty of the display in many municipalities, that it is more than ever convenient to the ripeness, sweetness and exquisiteness of the fruit' (Greco, 1864).

The PDO mark guarantees that the figs come from a specific geographical area - in this case the province of Cosenza in Calabria - and that they are grown and processed according to the rules of the product specification, thus enhancing local production, and promoting the tradition and culture linked to this fruit. Cosenza PDO figs can be eaten alone as a snack or used in various sweet and savoury recipes.

Storage

You can store dried figs fichi di Cosenza PDO in cool, dry places away from heat and moisture. Here are 4 useful tips:

• The best way to store dried figs fichi di Cosenza PDO is in a refrigerated environment. Nuturally dried figs fichi di Cosenza PDO can also be stored at room temperature during the winter season due to low temperatures. During summer, however, it is advisable to store the product in the refrigerator or in the coolest possible environment, as increased temperatures could encourage decay.
• The ideal container for the storage of dried figs fichi di Cosenza PDO is glass. Indeed, because of its composition it is impervious to chemical agents and gases, and, as it has excellent insulation properties, it holds the initial temperature for longer than other materials. It is even better if the glass is coloured: using coloured glass blocks the entry of certain wavelengths of light (including ultraviolet), and thus certain nutritional and organoleptic characteristics remain unaltered.
• The type of closure of the container is also important as an airtight cap ensures that the food is protected from excessive contact with oxygen that can lead to lipid oxidation and encourage the growth of aerobic bacteria.
• The best kind of storage environment is one which is well ventilated because ventilating the premises keeps internal humidity under control, which otherwise could escape from windows, thereby guaranteeing the right balance to lessen the onset of mould.
