The variety is sanitized material of the traditional local potato known as Negra Yema de Huevo. In botanical literature, this potato is classified as Solanum chaucha and belongs to the cultural heritage category of the Canary Islands.
The tubers have a round-oblong shape, dark purple or brown skin with spots, and yellow flesh. The sanitization of the material is aimed at increasing productivity and eliminating the viral load typical of local clones maintained by farmers over a long period.
The variety is characterized by a short growing cycle and high gastronomic value. During cultivation, natural color variations of the tubers may appear, depending on climatic conditions and agricultural practices.
