Same fig, if you look at some of the pictures on the varietal page you will see the sugar spots, I think it is more prominent down here in the heat. When we were at the LSU Fig Field Day I saw them and tasted them and the taste won over the looks, I got my cuttings there. I also got one from a member who was eating them too early so was not impressed with the taste and gave up on the tree.
I think this is a great example of how figs may look in different climes. I think it is one of my top three in taste.
