I have very good feeling about both with NdB perhaps slightly better but still not sure yet
as i need more to taste of each to compare against each other.

Interior of Sollies as grown here in our yard.

The one harvesting says that they are unifera and the tree goes fully productive after 7 years.
The small green/grey one in the shop is a wild unknown they say .
In Sollies, they have a "name protection" for the fig sold as "la figue de Sollies" - So Violette de Sollies (French) is Violette of Sollies  (English) .
It is a shame that they don't show the price.
In which continent are you ?
