The C he denotes as being a de colgar type so yes they ripen from the inside out.And did so originally in both Spain and Italy where there are some wonderful pictures of them here hanging from rafters as then ripen up when the temps got colder.It was a great way to have tomatoes when it was too cold out to grow outside and that b/c there were no refrigerators back then..
My problem in searching trying to help you was to use the word Ibiza first, as you had it instead of using Blanco first.
There are many many de colgar versions.
I just checked my data book and one of the best was/is Colgar Papuo PL which I originally got from Paco in Spain and was also listed in one of my seed offers here as well.
And while I am answering your question I think Nico would agree with most of what I posted.
Hope that helps,
Carolyn

I totally agree with you Carolyne, for me the tomatoes that lasted the longest were ibiza blanca (10 months), establiment (8months), the papuo planted last year and did not last long (2months), I do not think I will replant them .
Thanks Carolyne
