Quite simply, this is a fantastic fig!
Not to be confused with Calderona de Miner, considered to be a sub-variety of Calderona.

Second-crop figs similar to and often confused with “Bordissot” and Martinenca; size medium; shape oblate-spherical, with very short, thick neck; color black; pulp dark red.
