One of the many bonuses of my job is that people give me lots of yummy pots of Italian food, hoping that one day it may become a Nudo product. One of our most passionate producers is Silvano. I go and visit him often to test-run his latest concoction. On my most recent visit he gave me fresh pot of white fig jam. He made me promise I’d have it at home with some buffalo mozzarella and a drizzle of lemon olive oil. I did.
Ingredients
Mozzarella di Bufala – 200g
White fig jam
Nudo olive oil crushed with lemons – a drizzle
Salt – a pinch
Slice the mozzarella and alternate the slices with a spoonful of the jam. Sprinkle some salt over the top and drizzle the lemon olive oil before serving.

Sounds fantastic! The lemon oil is a smart addition.
This sounds wonderful! Now I want to make some lemon olive oil with the Meyer lemons growing in our yard… (And my son was just asking, isn’t there some other way to serve figs than just plain off the tree?) Yumm!
Thank you for your comments!
Jennifer, although I am sure you must have an interesting recipe or two for making lemon olive oil, Nudo does something a bit different. What gives Nudo lemon flavoured olive oil its unique, strong taste is actually the fact that we press fresh Sicilian lemons with the olives in the olive press at harvest time. This guarantees a strong, fresh lemon flavour that adds a beautiful fragrance to any dish.
Hope you get to experiment with the fig jam and mozzarella – its just delicious!
I think you are very lucky to get lots of yummy Italian food samples from your friends. It is something new for me to hear about “white fig jam”. Do you have a recipe for this? I think it would really be something different to have in the kitchen!
Can any one help me on this?
