That sort of fig looks like it's a major risk of souring where I'd be.  Eye is small for beetles, but not for the tiny gnats here that will sour any fig that splits even a little.  Is that eye blocked by honey or resin?  It's small, but there, and there's a void...

Even still, good on you to have fruit!  As the bearing goes on, it might even get better.  My PN gave me its sweetest unripe fruit yet today after a very uninspiring start.

Especially desired figs: UCD 187-25, UCD 200-48, UCD 157-17, UCD 309-B1, Princesa, Black Madeira, high quality sugar fig that ripens Sept-Oct.

Probable desired fig: Smith, St Jean, JH Adriatic, CddB, Gulbun, Pastilliere, Sucrette

Rooting:  Smith, CDDB--this pretty much means I have my fun tries (tho' important since they are truly desirable), and only interested for this year: Gulbun, BM, 187-25, or something wildly exotic or precious that nobody has any good reason to send me.

Very pretty! I almost looks like a plum with the pit removed. Neat!

With those attributes, I suggest you call this the Holy Grail.
