According to Ira J. Condit indicates that both 'Castelhana Branca' and 'Castelhana Preta' are synonymous with 'Inchário' ('Euchário' according to Condit), but these are different varieties, both white and Black . These are two Smyrna types from Portugal.
Figaholics: Smyrna type from Portugal, reportedly the highest quality variety sold in markets. Our tree produced large fruits with a very sweet figgy flavor, chewy texture, and moderate seed crunch. Seems to have more of a closed eye than most Smyrna types.
Francisco (Lampo) to Harvey 7-30-14:
"Harvey,
Thank you for commenting.
Yes, although having a somehow thin skin it takes transport well in short distances. It' common to have them trucked from the south to the northern bigger towns -150 to 400 km or more. For the coming two to three weeks the markets shall be full of this variety..There are others but this one makes well over 90% of all fresh figs sold. People love it and it's a very high quality fig. Difficult to explain exactly why but when eating these Inchários you seem never to be satisfied !! "
