JULIETTE is a very typical potato variety, belonging to the firm flesh family (like Amandine, Charlotte or Chérie). It was created by Germicopa and registered in the official catalogue of species and varieties in 1997.
It was born in France, in Châteauneuf-du-Faou (29), in the Germicopa Research Station, at the end of the 1980s. Juliette is the fruit of a long process of 10 years during which research, respectful of nature’s cycles, selected the best potato varieties according to agronomic, commercial and taste criteria.
The skin is an attractive yellow colour and the yellow flesh is silky smooth, neither sticky nor floury. The Juliette potato is a culinary group A potato with an excellent taste. It may even have a slight sweet taste. It has a rustic skin that is reminiscent of the potato of the past.
Juliette has good resistance to disease, especially to late blight. It is a variety well suited to hobby gardeners, and the harvested tubers are easy to store.
