Fig bread

Don’t let the name fool you: this is not bread made with flour and yeast. It’s a compact, sweet treat made from dried figs and whole almonds. The texture is firm and slightly sticky, with a satisfying bite from the nuts. Because figs are naturally high in sugar, the flavor is intensely sweet and fruity. This makes it the ultimate palate enhancer on your cheese board: it cleanses your palate and provides the perfect counterbalance to salty and pungent cheeses.
