Identification help on large dark fig with light interior

These two figs were given to me today to taste and they are a local unknown. Any ideas? Sorry no leaf pictures.

Hello. Figs look good. Leaves would help but im not an expert.

Look at how black the outside of the fig is.

I have one that looks similar #134 (R. Corino winery, Barolo Italy)

Taste notes would be interesting?

Yesterday my Black Mission produced a fig that looked a lot like that. Here in SoCal birds spread the popular BM fig trees and the trees start coming up in every fence line. They are slightly different from the parent tress -for better or worse.

My co- worker that shared these figs with me had said the owners are Italian and are into wines. Mario 1 you may have the same type. I will try to get a leaf picture and some more history on it.
The taste was not too sweet , no acidity at all and kind of a mild flavor. I haven't tried too many varieties yet but it tasted similar to the Whispering Tree White Genoa but juicier. Thanks to everyone commented and looked at the post !
