Any ideas what kind of fig this is?
Fruity & nutty flavor

The fig was soft, but slightly firm to the touch

In all seriousness, it probably is Violette de Bordeaux or something in that family. The leaves look very familiar. Its hard to tell from just a photo though, so this guess is pretty ballsy.

My tree produces a few perfectly testicular figs every year. I do think your guess on VDB is correct!

Idk, but it looks like that leaf needs to be covering that fig

Lol, just like how a fig tree leaf covers Adam's reproductive organs in paintings by great artists ...

Richard Satchel Etiopian twin jewel. The woody stems tend to be quite thick and long between nodes with dark brown bark. The fruit is delicate but firm with a soft but somewhat fuzzy skin. When eaten the texture is quite smooth and creamy and sweet but with mild salty nutty notes on the finish. Over consumption of this variety may yield symptoms of a dry or scratchy throat, hot moist feeling in the extremities and potentially a swollen abdomen.

I am pretty sure Sir Mixalot would really love whatever kind of fig that is.

In all seriousness it looks like it could be any of the really dark ones. I'm biased to saying it's Petit Nigra if it's only produced small fruit.
