I have ripened a few on my first year tree and each one has been excellent. Deep red interior, thick and jammy, split resistant, complex flavor... I really like the purple staining it gets near the skin. The one below was not quite ripe but I knocked it off trying to put a bag on it. There was still some sap but it was still awesome. It is a really high quality fig in my climate. It also looks like MP also rated it highly. This variety has a secure spot in my collection.
The color of the skin on this one is marbled with some gray but the earlier ones were jet Black .

According to the description of the Catalan site Local Varieties of the Balearic Islands, Mare DE Déu is very similar to Bordissot Negra.
