The variety is a traditional form of maize adapted for cultivation in mountain conditions at altitudes of up to 1200 meters. The plant is vigorous and forms long, narrow ears.
The kernels have a characteristic pointed shape that facilitates rapid drying and an intense black color. Due to the high content of pigments, the variety is classified as a functional food. The landrace lacks the uniformity characteristic of commercial hybrids and requires protection from cross-pollination to maintain genetic purity.
