A North American potato for all seasons
Vivaldi is a potato for all seasons and shows a versatile nature for consumers
by way of the variety of dishes that can be prepared from this
delightfully yellow flesh coloured variety.
Vivaldi appeals to the broadest range of consumers; such is the finding from our continuous
consumer taste research being conducted with potato consumers in North America and Western Europe.
A new standard has been established for round yellow table potatoes in North America, following nation wide trials and early commercialization efforts of HZPC's
variety Vivaldi.
This yellow fleshed potato of distinction is now available for potato producers in Canada, Mexico and the United States of America.
