Grown on Croatia’s idyllic Adriatic coast, the Dalmatian fig has a reputation for its quality. Unlike other parts of the Mediterranean where figs are harvested with quantity, not quality, in mind, Croatia’s industry focuses on growing the best fig.

Troglava fig jam is created from a traditional Croatian recipe that was developed in the coastal area of Dalmatia. The modern day grower of these figs, Tomo Ostojic, follows the footsteps of his grandfather, who was a pioneer in growing figs in the Bacina lakes region of the Adriatic coast. Having studied at the Faculty of Agriculture in Croatia’s capital of Zagreb, Tomo was able to modernize the process of making fig jam without losing the integrity of the product itself.
