Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is of the indeterminate type, forming vigorous vines up to 3–4 meters long. Fruit ripening time ranges from 95 to 115 days from sowing. The fruits have a slightly ribbed round-flattened shape and are characterized by a small seed cavity.

The flesh of the fruit is dense, bright orange, not watery, with distinct nutty notes. When storage conditions are observed, the harvest retains its qualities for 6–8 months. The variety exhibits general resistance to diseases characteristic of cucurbit crops.

The variety is universal in use and suitable for all types of culinary processing, including the preparation of soups, purées, and desserts. Due to the thin skin and the compactness of the seed cavity, the fruits are convenient for processing.
