The variety belongs to the flint corn group and is characterized as mid-season or early-season. Medium-sized plants form sub-cylindrical ears.
The kernels are small, very hard, have a shiny texture and an intense orange color, and are distinguished by a high content of proteins, lipids, and carotenoids. The variety shows drought tolerance at the initial stages of development and the ability to recover after mechanical damage.
The main purpose of the variety is the production of premium quality flour, which possesses a rich taste and aroma and is traditionally used for preparing polenta.
