My previous review of this fig: "Souadi 8/10 - First off.. this is a good fig, but it takes a while to ripen from soft to fully ripe. That however is not a problem as my Souadi figs have been drying on the tree in this extremely humid/wet weather I've been having. I am amazed. It's also a beautiful fig. Particularly when ripening. Bass has photos of this one that are beautiful and I can see why. It's stunning. Anyway. If you can let it shrivel and dry a bit on the tree the berry flavors will concentrate some. Dried or two days earlier it's very refreshing. Reminds me of the caprified Zidi I had from California. Early to Mid ripening. Productive. Jammy. Resistant to wet weather. Closed eye. It's just a winner here."

I've had some figs after making this video and giving that review, and I think it's a solid 9/10. Can compete with figs from California. As good as Smith, but way more refreshing... however totally different in that it has no richness or acidity. I think it's able to achieve this rating because of its ability to dry on the tree even in very wet conditions. I have been astounded. I like to let figs go as long as possible and this one can go the distance. I know it's ripe when it falls off the tree. Not kidding. If you've never got one of these to dry on the tree, do yourself a favor and try it. Really looking forward to this one in the years to come.
