The product is called Figs & Cinnamon Confiture by Lin’s Farms, a small farm (kibbutz?) in Israel. It’s my new favorite spread to put on bagels and toast. Imagine your favorite fig preserve mixed with just the right honey. And since confiture seems to be a fancy word for preserves, it also means that there are tasty chunks of figs in the spread. Oh, heaven on a bagel!

Now the question is: Where to buy my new favorite delight in Boston? The product isn’t even listed on the Lin’s Farms exceptionally spare web site and they on’t seem to have an e-commerce capability. And unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find it in Boston yet… If you’re curious, the farm’s web site is:

Oxygen Imports, a specialty kosher foods importer, fortunately does have it in its catalog. So if I can’t find this heavenly delight locally, then I’m giving Oxygen a call.

BTW, isn’t shopping in supermarkets in foreign countries fun? I love trying to guess about the food culture of a country based on what can be found in the supermarket.
