FIG PASTE
WHAT IT IS
Our Dottato Fig Paste is a smooth, naturally sweet paste made exclusively from hand-harvested Dottato figs grown in our Messinia orchards. Through gentle processing and strict quality controls — without additives, preservatives or artificial sweeteners — we preserve the fig’s rich flavor, natural sugars and nutritional value in a ready-to-use, versatile paste.

PRODUCT VARIATIONS
Texture
Our Dottato Fig Paste is also available in smooth texture styles:
A) Soft Fig Paste
A smoother, more pliable version of traditional paste. Its creamy, spreadable consistency makes it easy to scoop, blend, and incorporate into recipes without additional processing equipment. Created by adjusting moisture and concentration levels, this format is ideal for applications that require effortless handling or rapid mixing.
B) Fig Slurry
A looser, semi-pourable paste with a texture similar to fruit preserves. It spreads easily with a spatula and works well in fillings, sauces, and applications where fast dispersion is needed.
Flavour Variations
We also offer naturally flavored fig pastes, using gentle blending techniques. Options include warm spice notes, Mediterranean herb nuances, citrus accents, or custom flavor profiles developed for gourmet products, seasonal launches, or private-label lines.
