Varieties
FreshCarrot uses different varieties. At the end of June we will start the new season with Laguna and Napoli. The season ends with Nerac and Nairobi. The rest of the time, Maestro is mainly grown and packaged.
New varieties
We trial new varieties on a small scale every growing season, often at the request of breeding companies. This helps us establish whether a new variety might be suitable for the special VersePeen market. Our assessment criteria include flavour, presentation after washing and shelf-life. Any variety that scores more highly on these points than the standard at the time is tried out on a larger scale in the next growing season. In this way, the current varieties have also been selected in the past and included in the growing schedules of the FreshCarrot growers.
