Cake Fig With Almonds, 8 Ounce

Made in Spain with figs and almonds and without flour or eggs or sugar, this fig "cake" is moist and delicious. I cut it into eighths and eat one slice after dinner for a healthy treat. In Spain's tapas bars, slices of fig cake are served with manchego cheese and often accompanied with a glass of sherry. This was my first purchase of this brand of fig cake, and I would buy it again. I had been buying the brand, Corazon de Ronda, at my local super market, but it is only available there for a couple of months around Christmas time. Corazon de Ronda has lots of cinnamon in it, and I love cinnamon. I missed that flavor when I first tried the Mitica brand. So, I just started sprinkling the Mitica fig cake with cinnamon and was very satisfied. Cinnamon brings out the sweetness in the figs. Try it!

It tasted like soap. I have similar products before, and I know what they are supposed to taste like. This was not it! I complained and was told I'd be getting a refund. I am still waiting for proof of that.

I have tried many different fig cakes in my life, and though this is not the moistest fig cake I've ever had, it is certainly in my top 3 as far as the flavor. I was quite surprised, really. The only 2 ingredients are Pajarero figs and Marcona almonds, YET the flavor is better than many others I have had where they have added spices. The almonds are whole, and the figs seem to be crudely pressed...I've never seen such a simple rendition, however it is very delicious, enough to accept this idiosyncrasy. The tender care of the quality ingredients is obvious in the flavor.

It is delicious, a little dry. I was dissappointed with how thin this cake was. I will not order again.

delicious

This is really good. It was fresh and just as expected. Goes great with a coffee, or alone as a small snack. It's very filling so a small piece is perfect to tide you over and keep you out of the junk food. The problem is finding it at a decent price. Amazon is usually too high, and the other Gourmet vendor does not offer shipping discount for quantity purchases making the total cost too high. Keep an eye open for the right price, or check your local specialty shops.

Luscious fig/almond cake. One of the best I’ve ever tasted. It’s moist and without the usual tough coating. It’s there, but it’s moist and not at all tough. Just bought three more.

Very disappointed. Texture was too dry and hard. Too expensive. It is better to buy a package of whole almonds and another of dried whole figs, that is cheaper. The taste is extremely sweet, maybe it has some king of sugar in it. I don't know.
