Negra d'Agde
Negra d'Agde
Discovered along the banks of the Hérault River near Agde in southern France, Negra d'Agde is a remarkable collector's fig prized for combining excellent flavor with exceptional reliability. Believed to be a naturally occurring seedling, this French selection has earned a loyal following for its ability to produce high-quality fruit even in humid or rainy conditions where many premium figs struggle.
Medium-sized figs ripen with deep purple-black skin surrounding a dense, dark red interior. The flesh is thick, rich, and pleasantly jammy, offering concentrated flavors of ripe cherry, blackberry, and mixed berry preserves with balanced sweetness and a clean finish. While its flavor is often compared to the famous Coll de Dama family, Negra d'Agde develops its own character with a slightly earlier ripening season and excellent consistency.
The vigorous tree produces both a light breba crop and a generous main crop, with fruit ripening over an extended harvest period. One of its most distinctive qualities is its outstanding resistance to rain and humidity. Fully ripe figs often remain attached to the tree rather than dropping, naturally drying in place and developing an intensely concentrated sweetness that rivals traditional dried figs.
For growers seeking a premium dark berry fig that pairs outstanding flavor with dependable performance, Negra d'Agde is one of France's hidden gems.
