La Bourgeoise is an oblong fig that sometimes has a long neck. It can have brown, red, and yellow skin that sometimes appear cracked, but not split. Inside, it is a beautiful deep red. The first crop is juicy with a fruity taste, and the second crop is markedly different with a syrupy sweet consistency and taste. Overall, it has a complex flavor that has been compared to Col de Dame Blanc, but has the advantage of ripening much earlier.  Parthenocarpic.
