Drap d'Or Fig

✓ Verified

France (traditional)

I was not able to find documented origin history for Drap d'Or through available research beyond its French name, meaning "cloth of gold," likely a descriptive reference to skin color rather than a unique historical account. If you have a source for this variety's background, it can be corrected with real information.
