Nutritional values

Goat cheese is not only aromatic, but also easily digestible. Thanks to the short-chain fatty acids, most people tolerate goat's cheese well even with a sensitive stomach. In addition, the spicy dairy product provides plenty of high-quality protein and bone-strengthening calcium.

If you can't get fresh figs or don't like them, try the recipe with nectarines or pears!

Rinse figs, pat dry, trim stalks, and cut into slices. Rinse the orange in hot water, pat dry, and zest.
