Why It’s On Our Shelves
A rich, fruity chutney combining the deep, honeyed sweetness of figs with the bright citrus character of orange, creating a beautifully balanced accompaniment to cheese and savoury favourites.
Norfolk Larder Fig & Orange Chutney brings together two fruits that complement one another beautifully. The natural richness and mellow sweetness of figs meet the fresh, fragrant citrus notes of orange to create a chutney with plenty of depth and character.
Figs provide a wonderfully rounded sweetness, while orange introduces a brighter, slightly tangy contrast that helps prevent the chutney from becoming overly rich. The result is a fruity, well-balanced accompaniment that's particularly suited to cheese, charcuterie and traditional deli favourites.
It's especially good with blue cheese, mature Cheddar and creamy soft cheeses, but equally enjoyable alongside pâté, cold meats or as part of a generous cheeseboard.

Why We Stock It
Fig and cheese is one of those combinations that has stood the test of time, and for very good reason. The natural sweetness of figs provides a wonderful contrast to the saltiness and complexity of a good cheese.
What we particularly like about Norfolk Larder Fig & Orange Chutney is the addition of orange. It brings a welcome brightness to the richness of the figs, creating a chutney that complements rather than overwhelms the cheese.
We'd particularly recommend trying it with a good blue cheese. The contrast between the sweet fruit, citrus and salty, creamy cheese is one of those combinations that makes a cheeseboard genuinely interesting.
It's equally enjoyable with a mature Cheddar or a creamy Brie, and we'd certainly suggest keeping a jar handy whenever pâté or charcuterie is on the menu.
For us, a good chutney shouldn't simply fill a space on the cheeseboard. It should make the cheese taste even better.
And that's precisely why this one earns its place on our shelves.
