Celebrate the arrival of fig season with the highly sought-after St. John’s Figs (Bajtar ta’ San Ġwann). Named because they ripen around the feast of St. John the Baptist in June, these are the first, precious figs of the year. They are typically smaller and more delicate than later-season figs, with a tender skin and a lusciously sweet, jam-like flesh bursting with honeyed flavour. Figs are a good source of dietary fibre, potassium, and calcium. They are a natural and wholesome sweet treat. These early figs are considered a delicacy and are best enjoyed in their pure, fresh state to be fully appreciated. They are also wonderful served with fresh Maltese ġbejna (cheeselets) or salty prosciutto to create a perfect balance of sweet and savoury. Their season is very short, making them a truly special and anticipated Maltese treat.
