It can be consumed crunchy or more mature. The proximity to the sea gives the pulp consistency and the sun gives it a high sugar content.
It is called russeting and is typical of this variety. It is next to the scale that the sugars accumulate. The percentage and concentration of scale varies depending on the weather conditions each year.
The European Union recognized this variety as a traditional quality product through its protection with the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) insignia.
