Barnissotte Fig

✓ Verified

France (traditional)

I was not able to find documented origin history for Barnissotte independent from its documented synonym relationship to Brogiotto Nero, already discussed in this database's batch 3 corrections — see that entry for the sourced synonym cluster (Barnissotte, Brogiotto Fiorentino, Barnisotte Noire, Bourjansoto, Grosse Bourjassotte).
