The 250g wooden box is the light-colored sibling to the dark Bocconcini and, like them, makes for a ready-to-go gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBocconcini Bianchi di Fichi\u003c\/strong\u003e are white chocolate figs from Dolci Pensieri di Calabria, made in Rende near Cosenza. \"Bianchi\" simply means \"the white ones,\" and that is how they appear: dried figs, baked in the oven, with a whole almond in the center and a creamy coating of white chocolate. The 250g wooden box contains these morsels, each a small contrast of a light exterior and dense, dark fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCreamy coating, caramel-like fig\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white chocolate melts softly and creamily, fragrant with vanilla, and settles mildly over the caramel-sweet fig flesh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the dark sister relies on contrast, this white version seeks harmony; sweetness meets sweetness. To keep things balanced, the candied orange adds freshness and the whole almond provides crunch. Creamy, nutty, and fruity, each bite slowly dissolves on the tongue—a gentle finish to a long evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite chocolate derives its melt solely from cocoa butter, milk, and sugar, which is why it melts so softly and tastes of cream and vanilla. For those who love it, this is its southernmost form, carried by a sun-ripened fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom the workshop in Rende\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all the house specialties, the white Bocconcini begin with dried figs from the gardens around Cosenza, which are baked in the oven and filled by hand. The recipe remains straightforward: 60 percent dried figs, plus white chocolate, almonds, candied orange, and a little sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly afterwards do the fruits pass through the light chocolate made of cocoa butter and milk, which cools into a smooth, ivory-colored layer. The morsels then sit side by side in the box, ready for the plate. They shine in ivory tones against the light wood—a pretty sight the moment you open it. The entire range from \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/dolci-pensieri-di-calabria\"\u003eDolci Pensieri di Calabria\u003c\/a\u003e follows this pattern, from the pure fruit to the praline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe bright side of the holidays\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe decorative wooden box measures 17 by 12 centimeters with a height of 3 centimeters and can go straight under the tree or onto the set table without needing gift wrap. Just add a ribbon, and the gift for your invitation on the second Advent is ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor afternoon coffee, the white figs are the milder choice; they are also well accompanied by a strong black tea. It gets dark early outside, but with the open box on the table inside, a successful Advent afternoon is that simple. On a dessert plate, the two sisters also get along perfectly. If you place the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/dolci-pensieri-bocconcini-di-fichi\"\u003edark Bocconcini di Fichi\u003c\/a\u003e next to them, you cover everything from the bittersweet to the creamy, and the guests can choose for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white figs are also a seasonal product of the cooler months and reach us in October, when the summer's chocolate break comes to an end. They accompany Advent coffee and cookie plates until the holidays, after which we must wait for the next harvest.
