Tassos Fig Marmalade comes in a large jar. The orangey fig marmalade fills it to the brink. There is a nice tag shown above that explains what it is and the ingredients. Below is what it looks like served.

The consistency of this spread is more akin to a loose jelly than a thick fruit spread. The Tassos Fig Marmalade is not thick or viscous. I would say it is comparable to Smucker’s Strawberry Jelly, if you have it. Some middle ground between a thick jam and a thin sauce. It isn’t very substantial in body.

As for the flavor: Sweet. Too sweet. Like syrup or caramel or something pure sugar-y. It does not taste like fig at all. I almost gagged because of its overbearing sweetness. The Tassos Fig Marmalade failed to pair with any type of cheese as it overpowered anything it touched. The tag shown above says it has a ‘rich’ quality, but I would not call it rich. Rich generally implies savory lusciousness, not a maple-syrup like quality. It was very disgusting to me because I am highly sensitive to sweet flavors. That may not mean that everyone will dislike it, but I am warning you that if you like a fig spread with a savory edge, this is not for you.

I much prefer the Dalmatia Fig Spread, as it actually tastes like fig and doesn’t overpower cheese or bread or whatever you are pairing it with.

Update

I found an excellent use for the Tassos’ Fig Marmalade. Baking. It makes excellent bars. Works well with chocolate chips. The taste of the actual marmalade did not come through strongly in the bars but the ‘sweet’ aspect to it did come through. The bars were absolutely scrumptious. I definitely recommend the Tassos’ Fig Marmalade for baking, though not for paired eating if you dislike powerful sweetness.
