This is Italian 258 is very similar to Bourjassote Grise but sweeter. It is medium to large size with a solid dark strawberry pulp and blue-ish skin color. It produces a drop of resin blocking the ostiole which keeps insects out. (look at far right fig). This tree is in it's third year and is loaded with figs. (1)
