Fig has no

secrets to us

From the hand-harvesting to the final product in all its variations, including the molasses, which comes from the “dottato” fig variety after undergoing a lengthy artisanal process.

The certified origin

Our fig is born in the heart of a territory, shaped by a climate and a tradition that define its identity.

The PDO certification tells the authentic story of its connection to its place of origin, where Santomiele’s commitment is expressed through respect for nature and its rhythms, also earning our figs the Organic (BIO) certification.
