Hi its Ben, First off thanks for watching the video.
Sometimes I wonder if anyone's ever actually watching my videos lol. But I do fig videos because I enjoy figs and want to share my passion for them.
For me, when I say umami about the Smith fig, it's more of the lingering rich almost buttery taste that I get from the smith. Most of that flavor comes from the syconium. It's like the same sensation and after taste of eating a piece of werthers caramel candy in your mouth. Not to the same intensity but similar.
That sweet slightly savory taste is what I was trying to describe as umami. I think it's a great fig and does well in seattle.
I'm still waiting for my Preto and and bm to bear fruit. Based on most accounts those have a spectacular taste even better than Smith.
