Figs
Napoletana Fig
✓ VerifiedNaples, Italy (traditional)
I was not able to find documented origin history specific to Napoletana through available research beyond its name, a straightforward reference to the Naples region of Italy where figs have a long, well-documented general cultivation history. If you have a source specific to this variety, it can be corrected with real information.
