About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The classic preserving strawberry of the post-war years and to this day the benchmark for bottling and freezing. The dark red, medium-sized fruits are coloured right through to the core and keep their strong aroma and firm shape when cooked, ideal for jam, compote and syrup. Eaten fresh they are tart and savoury, a genuine old variety with character. It ripens mid to late season and is susceptible to grey mould, so keep the planting airy and harvest regularly.
Dark red right through, savoury and tart, with an unmistakable aroma that survives even cooking.
