Our Story
Rooted in Shiraz, bloomed in Den Haag.
Dariush and Maryam Sadeghi left Shiraz in 2009 carrying one suitcase and a small crate of dried figs their grandmother had pressed by hand. They settled on Noordeinde — the old royal street — and slowly turned a narrow shopfront into a living pantry.
Black Fig is named for the ink-dark Siah Anjir cultivar that grows only in the foothills south of Shiraz. Every jar, every dried fruit, every bottle of oil on these shelves arrives through growers they have visited in person — people whose names they know.
Den Haag has given them a home. They give Den Haag a taste of something older than any recipe: the quiet generosity of a well-stocked Persian kitchen.
