Figuette
A marvellous combination of a fresh goat’s cheese and a very special Portuguese fig. The fig is added to the curdled goat’s milk whole at the point of moulding, thereby encasing it in the cheese. When the cheese is cut, this beautiful fig can be found right in the centre. On tasting, you will be blown away by the sublime combination of the acidity of the goat’s cheese and the sweet taste of the fig with notes of honey. It is a "Pingo del Mel" fig, which literally means flavour of honey. It is a late variety of fig harvested in August. It is very sweet with very fine seeds. The harvested fig is boiled for 20 to 30 minutes, then candied for 3 months. This fig originates from the northeast of the Alentejo region in Portugal, a region that is well-known for its olives, wine, Iberian hams and, of course, for its figs

For an after dinner cheese board, 30g to 50g per cheese per person is generally enough and should not leave you with much leftover. If you are planning to have a big table and / or want some cheese to be carried over a few days ,we recommend 60 to 80g per cheese per person.
The number of cheeses is up too you (i say the more the better!) but to achieve a good selection from textures, Strenghs & different milks, 4 to 6 cheeses are recommended.
