White Madeira - not #1 Breba

Got this variety a few years back thinking it was WM #1 but honestly it was only labeled as White Madeira (without the #1).

Thought I would give it a chance after one sample last year and we'll it's pretty good.

At this point it reminded me of Corkey's Honey Delight but was twice as large and for a.split second I detected either tart or citric but these notes were fleeting.

I had picked one last week thinking it was ready and it was anything but - I was confused because the fig was soft and had started to droop.

This time I let it get to the point where I imagined it was starting to spoil and turns out it was perfectly ripened.

Guess I'll be hanging onto it for another season.20250621_174149.jpg20250621_174211.jpg20250621_174316.jpg20250621_174439.jpg20250621_174445.jpg
 
@ktrain Hmmm...

I need to try that - unfortunately I have the palate of a child and stick to what I know when eating out lol.
I was visiting a good friend a couple yrs back who is one of the pre OF figsters...his awesome wife brought out some fig jam with crackers and home made goat cheese.
I could have stayed there all day eating it, it was that good!
Top it off with some homemade wine...a great day! :)
