The variety belongs to the category of non-climacteric 'green Spanish melons'. The fruits have an elliptical shape and smooth green skin with a minimal amount of spots. The white flesh has a firm consistency and moderate sweetness, while the fruits have practically no characteristic fruity odor due to the absence of esters in their composition.
The plant is a landrace cultivated in Spain since the 19th century. The variety has a good capacity for long-term storage, which determines its primary use as a table crop. Agronomically, the variety is characterized by high susceptibility to melon wilt disease.
