Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is an ancient regional cultivar from Portugal, intended for fresh consumption. The plant is distinguished by high growth vigor and a vining growth habit.

The fruits have an oval or round shape, are covered with white skin, sometimes with netting. The flesh varies from pale green to a cream shade, possesses a pronounced aroma, high sugar content, and a crisp texture.

The variety is heat-loving, prefers sunny areas and fertile drained soils. Seed germination requires a temperature of 22–28°C. The recommended planting distance is 100–120 cm between plants; in cool climates, cultivation via seedlings or in protected cultivation is recommended.
