Welcome growers and simply curious readers!

While our, normal, Sineglazka preparing to land somewhere farmers are rubbing their hands in France at the beginning of May, head counting astronomical profits)) Today I'll tell you about the most expensive variety of potato in the world with the poetic, a typically French name «La Bonnotte ».

What sorts of features

If you look at photos and did not notice any significant differences between our Russian potatoes, then I hasten to reassure you: you're all right. I do not see anything special) like the young potatoes from the garden.

But more sophisticated in matters of gourmandise people say: "Bonnot" - potatoes unique. It is extremely soft, sweet, tender, with a special taste and golden color. However, if it is true it grow and cook.

I think the hype may skillfully inflated. The fact that the "Bonnot" is grown only on the tiny island of Noirmoutier and nowhere else in the world. Although that prevents the French put it, say, near Paris? But it will the price is cheaper not interested.

Due to the very fine and delicate skin all works on planting / harvesting is carried out very carefully and only by hand. It adds the value of seaweed fertilizers produced at the beach.
