Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the very early category, with the harvest maturing 7–10 weeks after planting. The plant is short, with compact haulm, which allows it to be grown in pots and in limited areas.

Tubers have a round-oval shape, light smooth skin and shallow eyes. The flesh is cream or light yellow in color. The variety is characterized by resistance to blackleg, common scab and powdery scab, as well as potato cyst nematode (Globodera rostochiensis).

The potato possesses versatile culinary properties and a waxy texture, and does not fall apart when boiled. The variety is not intended for long-term storage and is recommended for consumption soon after harvest.
