The Fine Cheese Co. Pickled Figs

Lush, sweet & delicately spiced — a sublime partner to artisan cheese

These Pickled Figs from The Fine Cheese Co. are a luxurious accompaniment crafted specifically to complement fine cheese. Whole figs are gently poached in a sweet-and-sour spiced syrup, creating a soft, succulent texture with a flavour that balances rich sweetness and tangy acidity. Their depth pairs especially well with creamy cheeses, blues, washed rinds and powerful cheddars.

Unlike overly sweet chutneys, these figs bring complexity without overwhelming. The syrup develops warming notes of spice, allowing the natural fruit character to shine — meaning every bite adds theatre, texture and a sense of occasion to your cheese board.

Why we love them:
They elevate cheese in a way few accompaniments can. Just one fig sliced over a wedge of Norfolk Dapple or Binham Blue transforms the experience. They’re equally at home on festive cheese platters as they are on everyday grazing boards. stylish, versatile and a favourite among cheesemongers.
