Publisher's Synopsis
For those born and living on the shores of the Mediterranean, the fig is often the first fruit they have ever tasted by picking it directly from the tree. The fig plant has accompanied the history of man since the dawn of civilization: it was the first to be domesticated, long before vines and olive trees.
This illustrated volume allows us to get to know it better, delving into its past and present, analyzing organoleptic properties and cultivation techniques, in an overview that embraces science, art and gastronomy.
