Mama from Santomiele is a homage to Mother Earth and the warm, sweet embrace that she offers. The slowly grown and hand-picked Dottato figs are paired and filled with extra dark chocolate (70%), Puglia almonds, walnuts and a touch of vanilla.
It all starts in the countryside, where figs are gathered before sunrise. Afterwards they are brought to the Opificio Santomiele, where they are peeled by hand and placed to dry in the sun and wind for 12 days. The result of this slow and old manual labor is a “mondo” fig tree. Ivory in color, it produces natural scents of honey, hay, citrus and spices of the Mediterranean gardens.
A fine selection of Bronte pistachios encounters the creaminess of white chocolate: the result is an unexpected flavour, as the nuts mature in the chocolate, developing its taste over time. It contains a delicious surprise inside.
Fagottino figs with raisins, orange peels and almonds, all amalgamated in a solution of molasses and rum; it is cooked in fig tree’s leaves, which give the product an intense aroma of berries.
