A clean, well-formed bulb with tight white layers. This variety is known for its balanced sweetness and refined anise note — present, but not overpowering — making it especially versatile across both raw and cooked applications.
Bulbs come in crisp, hydrated, and uniform, with minimal fibrous core. The texture stays snappy when raw and turns silky when cooked, without losing structure.
