For nearly half a century, the Ostojić family has woven the legacy of figs into the very fabric of their lives. Under the golden sun of their ancestral land in the Dalmatian province of Croatia, this humble fruit has flourished, much like the family itself.
Tomo Ostojić, a man with the soil of his forefathers in his veins and the future in his eyes, stands at the crossroads of tradition and innovation.
Following the wisdom of his grandfather Ivan, Tomo not only preserves the family's age-old secrets but also infuses them with cutting-edge agricultural knowledge.
Embracing modern technology, Tomo upgraded their processing plant with state-of-the-art machines, ensuring that Troglava not only met but exceeded contemporary agricultural standards. This blend of tradition and modernity has positioned the farm at the forefront of the industry, setting a benchmark for quality and creativity.
All The Delicious Fig Flavor - Almost None of the Added Sugar
Troglava fig jams minimize the large amounts of added sugars found in other jams, offering a healthier alternative that supports better blood sugar control and weight management. It also provides a high concentration of natural fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, which promote digestive health and strengthen the immune system.
What is the difference between fig jam and fig spread?
Here's the key distinction in the world of fig products: The FDA strictly regulates fig jams and preserves, requiring them to contain at least 45% figs and 55% sweetener, with a specific thickness measured by soluble solids (65% or higher).
"Fig spread," however, operates in a more flexible space - it's an unregulated term that gives producers creative freedom with their recipes, allowing them to experiment with ingredients like honey, lemon juice, spices, or varying amounts of figs and sweeteners. Think of fig jam and preserves as the strict, traditional cousins to the more free-spirited fig spread.
What's the difference between OUR fig jam and fig spread?
The fig industry hides a dirty secret: most products contain more sugar than fruit, with fig content often below 50%. Not Troglava. We believe in letting figs shine, which is why our jams and spreads contain 96% pure fruit - an amount unheard of in modern preserves. Each jar captures the true essence of figs, preserving their natural sweetness without drowning it in added sugars. This is how fig spread was meant to taste, honoring one of the world's oldest cultivated fruits in its purest form.
What are some recipes that use fig jam?
Since fig spread and fig jam are interchangeable in recipes, you can use fig spread in all the same ways as fig jam. Think of the texture as your main consideration - if your fig spread is chunkier, it might work better in rustic applications like:
Savory Dishes:
Pizza with fig spread, goat cheese, and prosciutto
