I got a few ripe Col de Dame Gris for the first time today. These are the first figs I have had from this young tree. Let me tell you how good this variety is - normally, we do ripen figs this time of year but they generally don't taste nearly as good as they would during the peak of the growing season - but these were so good, they were nearly my favorite fig this year (just behind Malta Black). I could imagine how good this variety is during the late summer months. The figs had such an awesome balance of sweet, acidity, and strong berry taste.
Can't wait for next year.
