These delicious Côtio Verdeal are best eaten early morning just before 2 or 3 brown toasts and a cup of green tea.

Francisco, gorgeous! I'm sure that would (as we say on this side of the pond) hit the spot!
A perfect "mata-bicho".
Is this a common, late variety? Or have they been producing throughout the season?
Surely these have been pollinated, with all those juices.
You are quite eloquent at descriptions of flavors, could I trouble you for a little profile on this one?
Are these from a young plant, or are they known to have a thick skin?

Francisco,

I think that is your camera doing a trick on us! 
Our figs do not look like that :)

The only other fig I have seen pictures of that looked as juicy and jammy like that was ronde de bordeaux. Just beautiful.

Thank you all for your comments and questions.

Armando,
I am no photographer...just read the instruction from the camera op. manual and try my best. Just a standard simple camera. The figs do the rest and I just click !
I would love to see this fig growing in the Fresno ground!

Rui,
The older friends trace the origins of this fig to the mountainous region , north of the Algarve coastal plains at some altitude (around 2500 feet).
It's a Common variety, many confuse with Braçajote Branco but it's not.
Skin is harder than BB and it takes transport very well.
I am not keen describing flavors and aromas but it's very fresh with an acidic berry flavor and rather sweet.
These figs are from a 10 year old ground tree and start ripening second week of August and go through October (here they are very similar with Violeta)
I do not think these figs to be pollinated (will investigate)

Igor,
No tricks..the fig has to be a nice one.. then just a click !

Francisco

That is a great breakfest, look good enough to just spread on the toast by itself.

Francisco, I agree, we need that fig in my area. Because I am trying to do things the right way I will see if someone has this in the states. If not, use the cuttings to build a bird cage and send it to me...LOL

Beautiful innards - very juicy, tropical, berry looking. It never ceases to amaze me on the sheer variety of figs - fruit type, leaf type, color, shape, taste, etc. just amazing.
