The Hivernenca Fig: The Best Variety You Need to LEARN About
The Hivernenca fig, a unique and highly sought-after variety from Spain, stands out among the world's top-tier figs for its exceptional eating experience comparable to the Coll de Damas and Black Madeira. Commercially grown across Europe, this fig has gained many names over the years due to its popularity among collectors and hobbyists. However, despite the various synonyms—such as De Senyora Hivernenca and Montanha Verde—the Hivernenca fig remains one of the finest figs available. With a rich, jammy interior with intense berry notes and a subtle caramel sweetness, this fig rivals the renowned Black Madira in taste and texture. Its leathery, chewy skin adds another layer of enjoyment, making it a must-have for serious fig collectors.

Aside from its flavor, the Hivernenca fig also offers practical advantages, particularly its resilience to rain and ability to dry quickly on the tree. Although prone to cracking, especially in flatter-shaped figs, it shows impressive resistance to water damage and mold, making it suitable for regions with unpredictable weather. Ripening in the Philadelphia area in mid-September, the Hivernenca fig can be harvested slightly under-ripe without compromising its flavor.
