Help me ID this fabulous one Canada

To all Canadian fig enthusiasts:
5-6 years old 5-6 feet tall.
Planted in ground, over wintered by being lowered to the ground covered by tarp and soil.
Grown in a heavy clay type soil.
Perfectly healthy deep green leaves.
Fruit, golg ball size or slightly larger picked-up was one of just few of this size and ripe (perhaps breba).
Other fruits are cherry size and green.
Taste sweet, little figgy, hints of strawberry jam.
Juicy, tin skin, beats my DK and LSU breba by miles!

Is this a Black Bethlehem or other common cultivar grown in Hamilton Ontario?

Thanks

Quite sure it is not a Celeste or BT. Congrats on a good unknown.

Hi can_smokva,
Not a Brown-Turkey .
IMO, it looks a lot like a "mont etna" ... and there are lots of unknown that fit in there ...
So an unknown for me, unless the owner has a label for that tree.

Does not look like a Celeste or a BT. Both in leaf and fig at all at least compared to mine. But my knowledge is limited so I have no idea what else it could be. I'm sure others can and will expertly weigh in.

Do you know its origin? It might help narrow down the search. Lots of Italian families in your neck of the woods... maybe a cutting taken from the old country. Looks really healthy!

Tadsmson,
Unfortunatelly I do not have any history on this tree.
