Patata del Fucino

Grown in the fertile plains of the Fucino Plateau, Patata del Fucino is a potato cultivar whose overall quality is directly influenced by the composition of the soil, irrigation and micro-climate of the designated area. The potatoes are planted in the spring, and harvested in late summer or early autumn when they are fully ripe.

Patata del Fucino is characterized by firm flesh that does not easily yield to pressure; its skin does not separate from the flesh; it shows no signs of after-cooking blackening, and it has a very pleasant flavor. These qualities are maintained even after months of storage. The Fucino potatoes are available in several varieties: Agata, Agria, Labella, Laura, Majestic, Sirco, Tonda di Berlino and Universa.
