Fresh figs are known for their exquisite flavors and colors. There are two main harvests each year: the early breba crop, which develops on the previous year’s wood, and the main crop from the current year's growth. The main crop is sweeter and more plentiful than the breba crop. Certain fig varieties, like desert king and white Marseilles, thrive in cooler climates. Figs must be harvested directly from trees since they do not ripen once picked, and in Italy, fig season lasts until late October for festive preparations.
Fresh figs are a seasonal treasure, offering flavors from deep purple to almost white. They yield early breba and main crops, which differ in sweetness.
Fig varieties like desert king and white Marseilles are prized for reliable breba crops in cooler climates, providing an early season harvest before the main crop.
Figs must be harvested straight from the tree as they do not ripen off the tree. Harvesting involves a gentle clipping process.
In Italy, fig season lasts until late October, perfect for making Sicilian fig cookies for the holidays.
