Bass' Favorite Fig

Bass' Favorite Fig is a large to very large fruit with an intense berry flavor, moderate sweetness, some acidity (though this may be due to fruit being slightly over-ripe), and somewhat thick skin.

By the looks of it I can fairly say its Parsott Iswed "Maltese variety" or a seedling from this variety. Has similar weight, shape and its a common fig producing only 1 main crop. The tree itself is one of the biggest among fig trees. Taste wise one of the best exactly as you described it. Theres also a sub variety known as Parsott abjad (white) which is the same but white instead of black of excellent taste as the black one. The white variety is said to be the biggest fig tree among them all. The parsott abjad is said by many to be the king of figs for its taste, vigour and productivity. Both are ancient top notch varieties.

Reminds me a little bit on Pastilliere (colour of skin and inside, leaf pattern, moderately sweet). Nevertheless fruit size and late ripening does not match. Probably no fig for the German climate.

The BLACK BOURGEASSOTTE (Maltese = Parsott
iswed. = brogiotto nero). The leaves are frequently
almost entire, or imperfectly lobed with obtuse segments.
The tree is often middling in size, but is vigorous
and very productive. The fruits are broad, top-shaped
or flattened, with a short and slender stalk, and ripen
slowly. They are dark violet, almost black at maturity,
with circular netting or fissures of the skin. The pulp
is dark red, very luscious and sweet. The first fruits
ripen about mid-August, and maturation is prolonged
until October or even later. The tree does not require
caprification. This is one of the best figs for the
table.
