🍒 Hellenic Farms Vegan Fig Salami
Raw Greek Figs • Almonds • Black Pepper • Vegan • Gluten-Free • Plant-Based Charcuterie
In Greece, drying figs and pressing them with nuts and spices is an ancient tradition — a way of preserving the summer harvest through winter that dates back thousands of years. Hellenic Farms has taken that tradition and shaped it into something that looks like salami, slices like salami, and sits on a charcuterie board like salami — but is made entirely from raw Greek figs, almonds, and black pepper.
No meat. No dairy. No artificial anything. Just the concentrated sweetness of sun-dried Greek figs, the crunch of whole almonds, and the warmth of cracked black pepper, pressed into a log and sliced thin. It’s the most elegant plant-based addition to any cheese board you’ve ever seen.
What’s Inside
-
Raw Greek Figs — sun-dried at peak ripeness, naturally sweet and intensely flavored. Greek figs are among the finest in the world — smaller, denser, and more complex than Turkish or California varieties.
-
Almonds — whole almonds pressed into the fig base for texture, richness, and a satisfying crunch in every slice
-
Black Pepper — cracked black pepper adds a warm, savory counterpoint to the natural sweetness of the figs
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Sweet dried fig with warm spice and a hint of nuttiness
Taste: Intensely sweet fig up front, with the crunch of almond and a warm black pepper finish
Finish: Long and satisfying — the sweetness lingers, balanced by the pepper’s warmth
Texture: Dense and sliceable — holds its shape on a board, slices cleanly with a sharp knife

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does it actually taste like salami?
No — it tastes like concentrated Greek figs with almonds and pepper. The “salami” refers to the shape and presentation, not the flavor. It’s sweet, nutty, and warmly spiced — a completely different flavor profile that happens to look stunning on a charcuterie board.
-
Is it gluten-free?
Yes — the ingredients are raw Greek figs, almonds, and black pepper. No gluten-containing ingredients.
-
How do I slice it?
Use a sharp knife and slice thin — 3–5mm slices work best. If it’s very firm, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
-
How should I store it?
Store in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate after opening and consume within 2–3 weeks. It can also be frozen for longer storage.
-
What’s the best cheese pairing?
Graviera is the natural match — the nutty sweetness of the cheese and the fig salami are made for each other. Aged Manchego, Pecorino, or a sharp Cheddar also work beautifully.
