The Sabrosa strawberry came out in Andalusia in 2003. It had taken 7 years to create, during which time tests performed, crossing* different strawberry varieties until one was obtained that is excellent from every point of view: the variety Sabrosa, otherwise known as Sabrosa.

* crossing is completely natural, there is no genetic modification.

Steps in its creation:

1997 crossing to obtain 15,000 viable  plants. Germination and acclimatization to the Mediterranean climate.  1997 young plants grown on in nurseries.  1998 1st phase of selection in the Huelva region => 15,000 cultivars (= selected plants).  1999 2nd phase of selection from the previous year's cultivars => 150 cultivars remain.  2000 3rd phase of selection from the previous year's cultivars => 10 cultivars.  2001 the 2 or 3 best cultivars are compared with the existing varieties on the market using various methods of cultivation.  2002 crop reproduction and tests.  2003 tests and selection of the best variety by growers and distributors.  2004 marketing begins of the excellent new variety, christened Sabrosa.

This is a sturdy variety with great agronomic potential, and the fact that it requires very little in the way of treatment with chemicals is beneficial for the environment. It is also an early variety, so consumers can enjoy it from February onwards. And lastly, this is a strawberry that appeals to all our senses: attractive to look at, firm, aromatic - and delicious!
