Description

More than likely an adriatic type fig which already circulates in the U.S. under a different name.

Nikky:

It is the product of a fig tree that my grandfather planted 40 years ago in the countryside, taking its cuttings from a vegetable garden in a house in the city.

From collection FigsArt byNikky of Nicolò Parrino.
