Fruits are of medium size, kidney-shaped, with yellow skin and a red-orange blush. The flesh is firm, creamy, nearly colorless, and very juicy. The variety is characterized by high sugar content (23–25% Brix) and low acidity.

The variety is intended for fresh consumption. The fruits possess good keeping quality, resistance to flesh browning, and a reduced tendency to form damage during transport.
