This variety belongs to the group of Vesuvian apricots grown primarily in the province of Naples. It is a local variety that developed over a long historical period. The index "II" is used to identify a specific biotype in genetic collections.
The fruit has an intense aroma, a sweet taste, and a yellow-orange color with red specks. The skin is smooth, which is reflected in the variety name. The fruit contains ascorbic acid and beta-carotene and is used fresh, as well as for the production of jam, nectar, candied fruit, and for drying.
