Turkish fig season at Special Fruit

Special Fruit is currently importing figs from the Aydın region in large quantities. The Bursa fig is also making an appearance, named after the region from which the fruit originates. This particular variety is prized for its excellent flavour and historical background. Bursa, situated in north-western Turkey, has an optimal climate and fertile soil, which together are ideal for growing figs. Fig cultivation began hundreds of years ago and has played a significant role in the region’s culinary and economic history.

Flavour and Characteristics

What makes the Bursa fig so special is its strikingly sweet and honey-like flavour. The fruits are medium-sized and have a thin skin that is easy to peel, making the soft flesh easily accessible. The flesh has a juicy texture and a rich, sweet flavour that blends with a hint of nutty aroma. This makes the Bursa fig suitable both as a sophisticated snack and as a delicious addition to various dishes.
