Roughly August and September, from Aydın and from Bursa, opening in July and finishing in October. There is no storage tail: fresh figs do not wait.

Almost all of the fresh crop reaches Europe by truck and the long-haul volume flies. If you are looking at a Turkish fig figure that runs all year, it is the dried trade — a different product in a different box. This window is the fresh one.
