Piel de Sapo
Mostly sold by type, not by variety name. The traditional Piel de Sapo is characterised by very good flavour and a crispy texture, but is used less in export. Piel de Sapo is the main export type. Long shelf life (2-3+ weeks), strong rind (transport resistant), uniform shape and size and stable brix (10-13° typical).
