This is a white fig ..and it was fantastic. Why is the fruit so good in Italy, or France? The growers sell it at the local market or directly to the local shops. It is ripe and does not have to be picked before it reaches a ripe stage because it does not sit around at distribution centres. The fruit in Australian supermarkets is called "anniversary fruit" by a friend of mine because it does not get there until it has reached a significant anniversary, thanks to transportation and storage.
The fruit in shops in Italy looks like it should ...ripe!!!!
