SeattleFigs From Zone 8
Marlow breba crop Early Season (August 3, 2018) longer neck compared to Olympian. very similar in taste mildly sweet. less sweet than brown turkey. Marlow is slightly better in taste than the Olympian, which has a slight figgy taste. Marlow has a smoother skin than Olympian. Marlow is medium size compared to Olympian is larger. Everything else is almost the same. If you already have an Olympian than you don't need to get Marlow. So let me sum it up, the only difference is the skin texture. To me, it makes a difference, but to some, the skin doesn't matter when they are that similar. If skin texture is important to you, then Marlow is better in that sense. Gene Vashon is another very similar, hopefully, in 2020 summer, I can compare all three. I rate it 5.5/10.
