Yeongam figs and Goheung yuja, representative specialty products of the Jeonnam region, have been transformed into pizza to capture consumers' tastes.

According to Jeonnam Province, Banolim Pizza, a leading domestic pizza brand company, announced that it will launch a new menu using these Jeonnam specialty products by the end of this month.

The new menu item, ‘Yeongam Fig Gorgonzola Pizza,’ features plenty of Yeongam figs on top of Goheung yuja sauce, preserving the texture of fresh figs, and generously uses Gorgonzola cheese to deliver a deep flavor.

Before the launch of the new menu, Jeonnam Province held a free tasting event for about 5,000 people at the ‘30th International Namdo Food Culture Festival’ at the end of September, which gained great popularity. The pizza received praise for its “visual enjoyment and eating pleasure,” combining the splendid appearance of figs with the sweet aroma of yuja.

Joo Soon-seon, Director of the Tourism and Sports Bureau of Jeonnam Province, said, “This collaboration, promoted for the successful hosting of the 2025 Namdo International Gourmet Industry Expo, aims to widely promote the taste of Namdo,” adding, “We hope that the Loconomy (Local+Economy) trend of consuming products using local specialties will lead to the revitalization of regional tourism.”
