Tonight I compared Prosciutto Unk vs Grosse Monstrueuse de Lipari. Both are 2-yr old trees, but the Proscuitto is in an 8-gallon pot and the GMdL is in a 3-gallon pot.

GMdL on top and Prosciutto on bottom.

For pure flavor, the Prosciutto won hands down. My hubby bit into it, and said mmmm. It had a deep berry flavor with a delayed tartness. The texture was dense and meaty.

By contrast, the GMdL was a lot sweeter with a light berry flavor and good seed crunch. It was very good—just not as intense flavor and a bit more watery in consistency. This fig could have been the best fig of the night if the Prosciutto wasn’t so good.
 
Beautiful figs! If my husband thinks it’s special, I tend to agree. He has no expectations, he just likes it, or not, for figs sake.
