Goutte d'Or Fig

✓ Verified

Also known as: Dorée, Figue d'Or, Goldtropfen

France (traditional)

Goutte d'Or is documented, per French Wikipedia's reference table of fig variety synonyms, as the same variety already listed elsewhere in this database as "Dorée" (corrected in this database's batch 3) — see that entry for the fuller sourced discussion of the name's meaning ("golden drop"). Worth flagging honestly as a probable duplicate entry rather than a genuinely distinct cultivar.
