Almera
Fairly modern Agrico, Dutch, high yielding, variety which has been added to their high grade Scottish grown range to help avoid bringing in disease problems from the continent. This is an eelworm resistant Wilja type - general purpose/ summer baker. The tubers are smooth, cream/ pale yellow, long oval and surprisingly numerous. It has resistance to a number of common storage skin diseases and yellow eelworm. Early enough to dodge many blight attacks.Made famous in Australia as "Carisma" [spelling I know], where cooked al dente it is the only potato with an official low GI index!
