This year Agrico once again has a number of new varieties that have been added to the Dutch Variety List. One of these varieties is Jolene. Jolene is a new variety in Agrico’s portfolio. It can rightly be considered to be a multipurpose variety, which is suitable for washed and packaged potatoes and for home fries. With its well-filled long oval tubers and clear smooth skin, this variety presents itself exceptionally well. Jolene is perfect for fresh home fries. Jolene is also popular amongst consumers, whether baked, boiled or included in other dishes. At Agrico we have already seen wide interest in this variety from our customer base, particularly from European countries.
