Bombon de Higo, assorted Rabitos Royale. Raquel and Señador Valero conceived of this extraordinary treat, while living among the fig trees of a small village in south western Spain. They select tender young figs from the neighbouring groves and fill them with a mousse made of dark chocolate and a hint of brandy. Each one is then hand dipped in even more rich dark chocolate! Finally each individual Rabito Bonbon is sealed in a foil envelope so that it will always taste as fresh as the day they were made.
Serving suggestions: The rich dark chocolate / brandy mousse inside the Rabito nicely accents the delicate sweetness of the baby fig. It is an inspired juxtaposition of flavours. Ideal with a dry sparkling wine or a smoked tea. We suggest beer, a Scottish or Irish beer with high fermentation and aromatic richness or a great red wine. (Barolo chinato, Recioto, Marsala Superiore, Jerez Pedro Ximenez, Banyuls)

Editor's note: A culinary masterpiece, it earned the Best Confection in Show honour at the Fancy Food Show in New York – no mean accomplishment for the folks of a remote town in Extremadura. The Valero family knocked the socks off all the sophisticated big city confectioners
