Production & Sourcing
Harvested at optimal ripeness, the figs are cleaned, sorted, and prepared for drying. They’re typically sun-dried or mechanically dehydrated, where moisture is gently removed to preserve the fruit. Throughout the drying process, figs maintain their whole form, allowing their natural sugars to concentrate, resulting in a sweeter and more intense flavor.
