Description

From Nelson20vt on Fig4Fun (9/5/13):

Bacorinho is a very rare fig in Madeira today sadly, considering they are probably the best white figs on the island.

From Francisco (lampo) (9/5/13):

From what I recall, Bacorinho is a sweet, fruity and flavor rich fig, aromatic , leaving a lasting souvenir on your palate.
Long ago it was a must in every orchard or backyard... now very difficult to find
