Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is part of the genetic diversity of Vesuvian apricots and has been cultivated in the province of Naples for centuries. It is not a product of modern industrial breeding, but rather a historically established form traditionally grown on small farms for local consumption.

The fruits are characterized by a pronounced aroma, intense skin color, often with red specks or a blush, and yellow flesh. Biochemical studies note a significant content of ascorbic acid in the fruits. The variety is considered rare and is involved in scientific programs for hybridization and the study of genetic resources.
