Wholesale dried figs B2B

Overview

At Palimex, the Dried Figs category gathers a selection built for food professionals: gourmet artisans, neighbourhood shopkeepers, restaurateurs and distributors who buy in volume. A wholesaler and importer of dried fruit since 1984, Palimex offers several dried-fig varieties suited to different uses, from snack aperitif to pastry, through savoury or sweet preparations aimed at a demanding, recurring professional clientele.

The range comes in several grades and formats, from the individual carton to the full wooden crate, to fit each outlet's buying pace. Lerida, Baglama, Pulled, Protoben or diced figs stand apart by their shape, their presentation and their kitchen use, letting you build an order consistent with the business's activity and throughput.

Professional uses by trade

Dried figs lend themselves to many uses depending on the trade and the selling context. Here are a few concrete ways to fold these figs into your offer or menu, by the profile of the professional clientele served.

• Gourmet Artisan: fold Pulled figs, with their thick flesh, into stuffed preparations or pastry compositions needing a homogeneous, workable texture.
• Neighbourhood Shopkeeper: offer diced figs sold by weight, a handy format that eases shelf rotation and limits breakage.
• CHR Professional: build a board or a cold buffet with Baglama figs, neatly presented thanks to their raphia-tied tail.
• GMS Distributor: secure a steady supply of Lerida and Protoben figs to meet stable demand across all outlets.
• Gourmet Artisan: pair Lerida figs, packed in tight columns, with savoury or sweet compositions calling for a regular, controlled presentation.
• Neighbourhood Shopkeeper: build a dried-fruit assortment including several dried-fig varieties to diversify the offer without multiplying suppliers.
• CHR Professional: prepare seasonal recipes folding in dried figs, easy to slot into a rotating menu without freshness constraints.

Range comparison

Palimex offers a selection of dried figs available in several pack formats, from the resale carton to the bulk format designed for high-throughput professional kitchens, each reference calibrated to a precise retail or kitchen use.

How to choose

To build an order suited to the activity, several criteria come into play when choosing among the dried figs available at Palimex, from grade to packing, factoring in the sales pace and storage logistics.

1. The fig grade sets its final presentation, a criterion to weigh by whether the fig will be sold whole or processed in the kitchen.
2. The pack format, from tub to carton by way of the wooden crate, must match the volume sold each week.
3. The flesh texture, firmer for Lerida figs or thicker for Pulled figs, steers the choice by the intended kitchen use.
4. The reference's presentation, such as the raphia-tied tail of Baglama figs, matters for display or buffet promotion.
5. The selling mode, retail or wholesale, guides the choice between an individual pack and a bulkier professional format.
6. The desired supply regularity shapes the choice of a reference available in stable quantity for distributors' recurring orders.
7. The available storage logistics, pallet or smaller reserve, drives the format and quantity of dried figs to order.

Storage & logistics

Dried figs keep in a dry place, away from light and moisture, in their original packing closed after each sampling. For professionals buying in bulk, good stock rotation means organising receipts on a first-in, first-out basis, to move the lots in arrival order. Bulk orders, delivered by carton or pallet, secure steady supply while limiting breaks during peak-demand periods, notably at year-end.

At Palimex, we select our dried figs by the field's real needs: grade, format and delivery regularity. Our advice to professionals is to match the packing to their sales pace. — Palimex team
