and Green Production

VITTORIO BENEFITS
Early season production
Attractive white colour
Vittorio is a new white asparagus hybrid that
was bred in the north of Italy. The variety is
characterised by a range of attractive features;
these include very high yields, early season
production and an excellent flavour profile.
One of the significant advantages of this
cultivar is that it offers a combination of traits
that are attractive not only to commercial
growers but also to the consumer.
Excellent flavour through very low fibre
levels
Exceptionally high yields
For asparagus production to be profitable,
it is important that growers can plant
varieties that have high levels of
production at a time of the season when
prices are best, but also for consumers to
be so impressed with the taste of the
variety that they come back to the retail
outlets to purchase more. Vittorio
asparagus delivers on all of these counts.

“Vittorio is an excellent product, very white colour, tightly closed tip, good,
homogeneous size, very little fibrousness, excellent to eat and also very
productive, good yield in the field. Excellent processing in post-harvest, no
rust, very white spears with no symptoms of disease, there is no need to do
further processing, just wash it.”
