Geesh Marius , your killing me with the inside color of this fig !!!

Those look like little gems of deliciousness!  And not overly sweet, huh?  So would they complement a dry champagne or a sweeter Riesling?

I love the color of the inside

Marius, this is just mouth watering.

Nice.

Thanks for the honest appraisal. It's very pretty.

I have heard that this tree is known to be grown commercially in Spain, and it is also commonly mislabeled in nurseries. 

VERY NICE!!!!

Very nice looks inside and outside, Marius.
Once you mentioned that it is the same as Vale Negra. Do you still think so? I am asking because I rooted one Vale Negra this spring when Napolitana Negra failed a year earlier after rooting.

Yes,Vale Negra has same leaves and fruits.I do believe is the same cultivar.

Bass,you' re right.This varietie is grown commercially everywhere in Spain.

Superb looking fig!

Beautiful fig

I did have a young Valle Negra before (I think from good 'Peppino', of NY?).
I lost it.
It never fruited for me, but I do remember its 5-finger-like leaves...
