Fig & Walnut Panforte 200g

Dense, gently spiced and studded with fruit and nuts, this Fig & Walnut Panforte is a generous variation on Siena’s historic “strong bread”.

Handmade by a family bakery in the Siena province, it follows the traditional method but leans into the natural sweetness of fruit. With 35% Italian walnuts and 24% Italian figs, bound together with local honey, the texture is compact and sliceable, closer to a confection than a cake. The figs bring soft caramel depth, while the walnuts add creaminess and bite.

There’s warmth from spice, but it sits quietly in the background, letting the fruit and nuts lead. Each piece feels concentrated and satisfying, designed to be cut into thin wedges rather than generous slabs.

Serve alongside soft cheeses where the sweetness offsets the creaminess, or with coffee at the end of a meal. It also works beautifully with a simple scoop of vanilla ice cream.

A Tuscan classic, rich with walnuts and figs and made the traditional way.
