Bright orange-red fruit with green collar, weighing 250 to 500 grams, or more, and 10 to 12 cm in diameter. Beef steak type, variable in shape, sometimes flattened, more often with a blunt cordiform tendency, but always ribbed at the top and with more or less undulating shoulders. Deep, wide, corky depression at the peduncular attachment, from which scars may emerge in talwegs.

Fine-textured, very dense, juicy, multi-located flesh with few seeds. Well-balanced old-fashioned tomato flavor.

Large development, regular foliage, indeterminate growth.

Generous, regular production from mid-season. Good resistance to circular cracking and bursting.
