Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a mid-season or mid-early table potato. The tubers have partially colored skin and cream-colored flesh that maintains its firmness after heat treatment, which makes the variety suitable for boiling, baking, frying, and mashing.

The plant possesses genetic resistance to late blight, potato nematodes of the species Globodera rostochiensis and Globodera pallida, as well as to powdery scab and PVY. The variety is adapted for cultivation in soils with a low fertility level with minimal use of pesticides.
