Large, fleshy, pink fruit with greenish collar, 300-500 grams. Round and slightly flattened beefsteak type with rounded and more or less ribbed shoulders. Depression at the stem attachment shallow, wide and corky, from which scars may appear in the talwegs. Clusters of 4/5 units.

Extremely dense and juicy beefy flesh, with very small lodges containing very few seeds. Exceptional flavour.

Good second season production.
