For green figs, they are ripe when they begin to soften. I generally pick a bit firm and let them ripen in a bowl on the counter, eating the ones that get softest first.

We were staying at a VRBO in Todi, Italy August 28-Sept 3, 2024.
There was a huge fig tree in the yard, full of perfectly ripe figs.
They were bright red inside and were “the best ever!”
We enjoyed them every day with fresh local Gorgonzola dolce:
the fig with the cheese is one of our favorite memories of our trip.
I looked on line: the fig is called “White Adriatic Fig”…very special!
The photos of your figs sure looks like “our” special figs!
If the tree is Adriatic: you are super fortunate!!! Enjoy them next year!
