Col de Dame Grise (Baud)

The Col de Dame Grise is a popular fig variety. You can recognize this fig by its greenish-purple color, giving it a gray (grise in French) cast to it. Inside is a dense, dark red pulp, with a figgy flavor and no seed crunch. Be sure to look for Col de Dame’s signature long neck—it’s why the French named it “collar of a lady” after their finely clothed royalty.

Medium to large sized, pear shaped figs. The skin is thick and turns light greyish-purple with small skin cracks when fully ripe. The flesh is dark, ruby- red. It has a very rich, sweet taste with savoury undertones. The figs are of high quality. The neck of the figs are thick. It has a strong fig flavour. One of the latest ripening figs. The main crop ripens from March onwards and sometimes even into winter.

* Almost identical to Col de Dame Noir except that the skin colour is light greyish-purple when the figs are fully ripe.

*Rated as one of the best tasting fig varieties available. Keep in mind that taste differs though.
