What are Kymi figs and why are they special?
Kymi figs, or Syka Kymis, are a celebrated Greek product from the island of Evia. They are unique because they are traditionally split open and sun-dried in pairs. This method results in a fig that is exceptionally soft, honey-sweet, and has a very thin, edible skin. Unlike other dried figs, they are never tough or leathery. This Ascada roll uses this prized fig as its base, showcasing its superior natural quality and flavor—a hallmark of authentic Greek artisanal food.
Is this fig roll vegan and gluten-free?
Yes, absolutely. This product is certified vegan and gluten-free. The ingredients are 100% plant-based: Kymi fig paste, dark chocolate (which contains soy lecithin, not dairy), caramelized almonds, sugar, brandy, cinnamon, and fleur de sel. It contains no wheat, dairy, eggs, or honey, making it a safe and delicious luxury dessert for those with dietary restrictions or ethical preferences. Ascada is committed to clean, additive-free recipes.
What is the best way to serve this fig and chocolate roll?
For the best experience, we recommend slicing the roll into thin rounds (about 1/4 inch or 0.5 cm). It is delicious served at room temperature. It shines as an accompaniment to a beverage that contrasts its richness—think a strong espresso, a bold black tea, or an aged spirit like brandy or cognac. It's also an exceptional addition to a cheese board, pairing beautifully with sharp, aged cheeses. For a decadent dessert, serve a slice alongside a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
