I couldn't resist picking up these figs from Chile at my local grocery store.  Anyone have any idea what variety they are?  

The really didn't taste very good - pretty bland. Similar to BT in my experience.  Despite how the pictures look, they were actually fairly dry in the inside.  

 

One possible way if you go back there frequently is ask the manager.
Yes its definitely underipe like most store bought figs .

Not BT or Mission. Maybe VdB type (has dots).

Almost all figs bought from store tastes like plain cardboard!
The real fig taste comes only from right-time-riped tree-harvested-fruit.

looks like LSU purple

The same thing happened to me last year. I'll never buy them again. The brix refractometer  must be broken down there.
They need another couple of months before they become edible, who cares how they taste. Selll sell sell while they look good....

imagine how long the darn thing took to get to FL from chile. i'm shocked it hasn't rotted. most figs i take off my tree can be store in fridge up to 3rd day from picking. they don't last that long... but once saved some for mother in law.

Went back to the store today for something else and most all the figs are moldy and rotten now.  It is a shame.  I remember last year, most of the figs were on their way to being rotten and I asked the produce guy if I could buy a few for a discount and he said no.  I asked him who is going to buy rotten figs for $6/lb, he didn't have a response.  They probably threw all the packages away within the next few days.  

It does look like an LSU Purple, but I sure hope it isn't because I have an LSU Purple that I plan on getting a few figs from this year, and I sure hope they taste better than these.  

They look close to this fig:
