We advise consumers to store figs in the refrigerator, where they will keep for a few days. Remember: the fresher the figs are, the tastier they will be.

Extra tip for the consumer
Sweet figs combine well with a gutsy counterpart. They taste wonderful with raw ham and a drop of balsamic vinegar, or try them with some goat’s cheese or Gorgonzola.
You can eat fresh figs whole, skin and all. A soft fig does not mean it has gone bad. If the fig gives a little when pressed gently, it is still perfectly fine.
