Brebas caprified?

I had to travel to Europe due to a family emergency, and we stopped in Spain (Barcelona) for a few days. I got some huge sweet delicious brebas at the farmers market. As far as I know, the fig wasp is present there. Does that mean there's a good chance the brebas are caprified (and hence have viable seeds)? Or is it only the main crop that can be polinated by the wasp? It would be fun to grow some seedlings to see if any will produce good fruit.

I am told there are maybe 3/4 varieties that require caprification for brebas, and the rest are common type figs. If they were caprified (but did not need it) it would change the flavor, most likely.,
