Hello. Thank you for sharing your fig pictures
Probably you have a Pingo de Mel or a strain of Moscatel Branco
Why not show us a full cutaway of the fruit ??

I want to waint a little bit that the inside of fruit gets red .

Pingo de mel is it I think. The picture is the same of them.

Is it really a rarely fig?

If it is a Pingo de Mel, which I believe it is, being a honey fig it will hardly turn red inside.
This variety is a Common type and very popular in Portugal
Here you have two pictures of the genuine Pingo de Mel, picked earlier  this Summer.
In our climate, this variety keeps ripening figs from late June through Oct/November

Although being also a honey type fig, Kadota is not the same as Pingo de Mel.

Francisco, it sure looks like a pingo de mel. I have a pingo de mel that looks very much like that one . It came directly from Portugal
  • Latitude:  39° 45' 19.7" (39.7555°) nord Longitude:  8° 34' 27.8" (8.5744°) ouest
 Only difference mine has  the classic very light yellow pulp color.
The one here is light pink . But it seems to be the same familly of fig, leaves and all.
