I was fortunate to compare these figs one after another.  Valle Negra took the win today.  Rob's Genovese Nero was bland, but one I had the other day tasted better.  I'm sure they'll improve.  Here are tonight's ratings.

Rob's GN - 6/10
Violette de Bordeaux - 8/10
Valle Negra - 9/10
Gino Black - 8.5/10
Salem Dark - 8.5/10

 
 
 
 

Nice comparative! Thank you.

Congratulations on some very nice figs.

Wow they look great.  nice pictures.

Those look delicious Frank! Awesome photos! The Valle Negra looks like it has really thin skin, just the way I like them!

Beautiful Figs Frank! Thanks so much for the great photos! : )

Lovely photos Frank. Your comparison once again demonstrates that bigger does not mean better.

Nicely done Frank. Great info for us. My VdB is a real winner too.
Cheers
