The clever locals of Cosenza in Calabria have come up
with an ingenious way of preserving the juicy Dotatto
figs, which grow in this region of Southern Italy.
Picked from the trees when they are plump and ripe, the fruits are
dried and then slowly caramelised in their own juices over
18 hours, before being shaped into balls, wrapped in fig
leaves and slow baked.
The resulting fig ball is a delectable
accompaniment to cheese. Try it with a Gorgonzola Dolce
cheese – the unctuous fig is a marvelous match for the
rich, tangy cheese.
