Fruity "Charcuterie"
Far from being a new-fangled vegan substitute, this Greek fig "salami" is a first cousin to panforte de siena, a dense, peppery, dried fig loaf traditional in Italy since the 13th century. Hovering between sweet and savory, these chewy logs of deliciousness can sub in for jam or chutney on bread, toast, or crackers, with nuts or dessert, and definitely with wine. Fruity and spicy, they delight the palate both before and after dinner. Each flavor contains only simple, whole ingredients: figs, aleppo pepper, orange zest, pistachios, cinnamon, and smoked paprika. Ingeniously packaged like meat salami, easy to slice and serve, they make a healthy yet fun snack, hostess gift, or offering to your favorite vegan. Made in Greece.
