Organic Balsamic Cream with Fig

Papadakis Vineyard in Crete where organic grapes are used to make Cretan balsamic cream

Organic balsamic cream from Crete, made with grape must, grape vinegar and fig paste. Naturally sweet and full of flavour, with the rich character of Cretan grapes and ripe figs.

There’s no added sugar, colourings or preservatives — just a simple combination of fruit and grape-based ingredients.

Taste Profile

Rich, smooth and naturally sweet, with the deep fruitiness of ripe figs and the gentle acidity of grape vinegar.

The grape must gives it a lovely rounded character, while the fig adds a soft sweetness that works particularly well with both savoury and sweet foods.

A Little Taste of Crete

This balsamic cream brings together a few ingredients that are very much at home in Crete. Grape must, grape vinegar and figs are combined to make a thick, flavoursome dressing with a lovely balance of sweetness and acidity.

The grapes come from the Papadakis family vineyards in Crete, giving the cream a real connection to the Cretan countryside. It’s the sort of ingredient that can sit in the cupboard for everyday cooking, but it’s also handy when you want to make a simple plate of food feel a little more special.

How to Enjoy

  • Drizzle over Greek salads, tomatoes or roasted vegetables.
  • Serve with grilled meat, chicken or fish.
  • Pair with Greek cheeses, particularly feta or mature cheeses.
  • Drizzle over thick Greek yoghurt for a simple sweet and tangy dessert.
  • Try with fresh figs, strawberries, peaches or other seasonal fruit.
  • Use as a finishing touch for roasted vegetables or warm dishes.
