The tradition of making jams in monasteries dates back centuries.

The monks, custodians of ancient agricultural and culinary knowledge, transformed the fruits of their gardens into delicacies to preserve them and to financially support the community.

La Fig jam from the Certosa di Firenze is no exception. The recipe, passed down from generation to generation, reflects a respectful approach to raw materials and manual labor.

The use of figs grown in the lands surrounding the monastery and the slow cooking, without additives or preservatives, are testament to an artisanal skill that today, more than ever, deserves to be rediscovered and valued.
