Read the evidence
In a 2021–2022 Pitești trial, 18 trained judges rated seven appearance and eating attributes. Among the 11 foreign cultivars, Folfer, Areko and Kordia had the three highest reported composite means and shared the same Duncan-test letter group. Their totals combine appearance, taste, flavor, texture and stone size; they are not stand-alone overall-liking scores.
