How To Make Fig Leaf Oil

As soon as I smell that coconut fragrance in the air I make fig leaf oil! 🍃
It’s delicious with poached stone fruits or goats cheese, feta and burrata 🧀 👌🏻🍑

What's the flavor profile on this? This seems like it could be a cool ingredient to play with

[@chefjoebartlett]

It’s like green figs/coconut and an almost peach like flavour

[@miltos3692]

don't fig leaves make you itch? I live in an area with tons of rig trees and everyone I know finds them ichy

[@chefjoebartlett]

That’s the milky sap that comes out when you break the leaves or stems. It can irritate the skin
