This wonderful Spanish jam complements blue cheeses such as Roquefort, Gorgonzola, Stilton, Valdeon, Cabrales, Bleu d'Auvergne...The density of ripe figs, with just the right amount of sugar to avoid an overpowering sweetness, combines perfectly with blue cheeses. Added to this is the lightly roasted touch of macadamia nuts, and the spicy contrast of Jamaican allspice, which, far from separating the combination of flavors, acts as a link, bringing together all these lingering tastes.
Baix Emporda is within the province of Girona on the Costa Brava, situated at the northern-most-point of Catalonia in Spain;. This enchanting area has been the home of artists, poets and chefs, including groundbreaking chef, Ferran Adria. This is where Can Bech produces their fresh and flavorful line of Signature Pairings for Cheese. Fruits reach Can Bech following their seasonality and at their optimum ripeness. They follow their traditional recipe, carefully cooking the fruit in pots, and keeping it only in a water bath. Far from obscuring the taste of the cheese, the aim is to enhance its organoleptic properties and create a flow of perfectly balanced olfactory and gustative sensations.
