Sweet Zoupeiros Figs 290 g – Prada a Tope

Discover: Sweet Zoupeiros Figs from El Bierzo

The Sweet Zoupeiros Figs from Prada a Tope are surprising for their unique flavour and their entirely artisanal preparation. Made with the traditional “zoupeiros” or “dry-bottom” figs, collected while still green in the villages of Corullón, these sweets reflect an ancestral method passed down through generations.

A Traditional and Laborious Process

The figs are harvested while still green, between mid-May and June. The process is long, delicate and 100% natural:

• The figs are pricked five or six times with a steel needle.
• They rest for one day in water, which is changed three to four times to remove bitterness.
• They are boiled for 15 minutes and cooled in cold water, changing the water several times.
• They are drained thoroughly to prevent excess moisture.
• Then follows a series of four short sugar cookings (about 5 minutes each), adding more sugar at every stage.
• The syrup must reach 30–32º for the ideal texture.
• The figs absorb the syrup naturally throughout the process.
• Finally, the jars are boiled in a water bath to ensure a perfect seal.

• Perfect with cheese boards.
• Ideal with yogurt, cottage cheese or mascarpone.
