Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety was obtained by crossing the Famosa and Valor varieties. The tubers have white skin and cream flesh. Cooking type B implies slight sloughing, which makes the potatoes suitable for baking.

The variety is resistant to the nematode Globodera rostochiensis. It shows moderate susceptibility to late blight of foliage and tubers, common scab, and blackleg. It possesses good resistance to dry rot and moderate resistance to gangrene.

Intended for fresh consumption. The variety demonstrates good productivity when grown in the conditions of Malta, the Balearic Islands, and mainland Spain.
