Seggiano Chocolate Fig Salame 180g

Not a salami at all, despite appearances. This is a traditional southern Italian sweet, sweet local figs, fruit and chocolate pressed into a log and shaped like a salame, made by a small family pasticceria in Cosenza, Calabria.

How to serve it

Slice it thinly into rounds and serve with after-dinner coffee, or put it out alongside the cheese where it does a similar job to a quince paste.
