Italy: Pleasing results for Stet Holland potatoes

Famous for their gold potatoes cultivated in the red soil near the Guà river, the Colognes area in the Veneto region is welcoming the first harvesting of 2017. Despite the problematic weather conditions caused by the cold front that affected the area in April, Stet Holland potatoes passed all stress tests with flying colours and proved to be extremely resistant. Tubers are distributed thanks to the cooperation between Balladore Carlo e figlio Snc, located in Guazzora (Alessandria), and intermediation agency Veronese Luciano & C. Sas, located in Asigliano Veneto (Vicenza). The Avanti variety will be harvested over the next few days, confirming it as the earliest cultivar of the segment. It will then be the turn of the Vitalia variety, with yellow skin and flesh and excellent for storage in cold units. More
