With the greatest respect for the non-believers, here is a 'top white' believe it or not.
Very good on all respects

Francisco

Looks amazing.

great looking white fig.

Francisco,
 I'm a believer! I'd love to have that on a plate here in Pa.

Thank you all for looking and commenting on this Quarteira fig
Absence of rain and many sun hours exposure, make the difference


Soon there will be another good 'White' to show.

Looks so delicious, so far the cotia and this look really good, almost like candy somehow making me think of Turkish delight jellies and I cannot explain why, I cannot wait to see what other gems you will be sharing a peak for us as the season progresses.

Great looking fig Francisco, between quarteira and braçajote Branco wich do feel is the better flavored fig?

Hi James, Nelson

Thank you,

One particularity of the Quarteira fig is that its jellies make it very difficult to dry. It has a unique flavor which  keeps in the palate and makes you to try another one..
it needs a lot of Sun!

Both Côtia and Quarteira shown, are from trees on dry ground... never been irrigated ! This also counts on the perfect maturing process as well as in the building up of sugars and aromas.

Nelson, your question on comparing Quarteira and Braçajote Branco..
Both are good figs but Quarteira taste, flavors etc.. are more intense, ...if I may say so, it has more body. Near a plate or a basket of figs, you can feel their unique scents, suggestive of various ripe fruits

Braçajote is a lighter fruit, shall I say, 'fresh' with its own fruity tastes

Quarteira was the preferred fig of my grand mother

Looks like I got to visit Francisco. Man, they look delicious.

Thanks Francisco. I do have plans to visit some countries in Europe. Just got to convince the wife from going elsewhere.

Paully,

That does not seem to be difficult!
