Details
Cyprus potatoes are known worldwide as one of the most superior potatoes on the market although we here in Co-Down might like to dispute that. However when our local spuds are at the end of their season it is good to have the option of Cyprus potatoes which are quite distinctive in their red clay soil.
In both the Greek and Turkish sectors, the potatoes are grown in two seasons. The winter crop is planted in August/September and harvested in November/December. To be honest we haven’t paid much attention to this crop as the local spuds are at their best during this time.
The Spring (main) crop is planted between December and February and harvested from April to early June. This crop is what we are most familiar with just when our local potatoes are on the wane. How neat is that!
The Spring crop is available now with Spunta a long shaped creamy coloured flesh and Cara a drier whiter fleshed one.
