Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is early-maturing, with a growing period lasting from 80 to 110 days. Tubers have an oblong oval shape; the skin and flesh are pale yellow. The flesh is delicate, with a low dry matter content, and is prone to mealiness during cooking.

The variety is versatile in use and is suitable for making mashed potatoes, soups, frying, and baking. It has an average yield. Historical data indicated resistance to late blight, although a susceptibility to internal tuber spotting is possible.
