FIG & ALMOND CAKE
Crafted with naturally sweet Pajarero figs grown in Extremadura and
crisp almonds from Valencia, our Fig & Almond Cake
is inspired by Spain’s traditional dried-fruit recipes. The ingredients are
combined and shaped with care to retain their authentic Mediterranean flavour
and distinctive texture.
The figs give the cake a smooth, moist consistency and a deep natural
sweetness, complemented by the gentle crunch and subtle nuttiness of the
almonds. This simple combination creates a well-balanced
fig and almond cake with contrasting textures in every slice.
This Spanish pressed fig cake contains no additives or
preservatives and can be cut into thin portions for serving. It pairs especially
well with aged cheeses and charcuterie, and is equally enjoyable with coffee,
tea or as a convenient fruit-and-nut snack. Its traditional character also
makes it a suitable addition to gourmet hampers, delicatessen counters and
speciality food ranges.
FIG & ALMOND CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE
Our Fig & Almond Cake with Chocolate combines a classic
Spanish dried-fruit recipe with the intense character of dark chocolate.
Carefully prepared using Pajarero figs from Spain,
crisp Valencian almonds and smooth
Spanish dark chocolate, it offers a distinctive Mediterranean flavour
in every slice.
The figs contribute a soft texture and naturally mellow sweetness, while the
almonds add a light crunch and subtle roasted notes. The dark chocolate brings
depth and a pleasant cocoa intensity, resulting in a well-rounded
Spanish fig and almond cake with a rich yet balanced finish.
This pressed fig cake with almonds and dark chocolate can be
served in thin slices alongside mature or blue cheeses, enjoyed with coffee or
tea, or added to dessert platters and gourmet sharing boards. It is also an
appealing standalone treat for customers looking for a refined combination of
fruit, nuts and chocolate.
