Coll De Dama Noir
Coll De Dama Noir
The Coll de Dama Noir is one of the world's most celebrated heirloom figs, prized by collectors for its exceptional flavor and remarkable eating quality. Belonging to the historic Coll de Dama family, this variety has been cultivated throughout the western Mediterranean for centuries. It is commonly sold under its French name, Col de Dame Noir, but is also known by the Catalan name Coll de Dama Negra, reflecting its long history in both southern France and the Catalan regions of Spain. Its name, meaning "Lady's Neck," refers to the fruit's distinctive elongated neck and elegant shape.
Medium-sized fruits develop dark purple to nearly black skin surrounding a dense, ruby-red interior with very little internal cavity. The flesh is exceptionally thick and jammy, delivering an intense blend of mixed berry preserves, raspberry, and black cherry with outstanding sweetness and a rich, lingering finish. Unlike many figs that rely solely on sweetness, Coll de Dama Noir is renowned for its depth, balance, and complexity, making it a favorite among experienced fig enthusiasts and frequently ranked among the finest-tasting varieties in the world.
A late-season main crop fig, Coll de Dama Noir performs best where it can enjoy a long, warm growing season, allowing the fruit to fully develop its concentrated sugars and signature berry flavor. While it may require a bit more patience than earlier-ripening varieties, the exceptional quality of its fruit has earned it a lasting reputation as one of the premier heirloom figs for collectors and home growers alike.
