Maris Peer is an egg-shaped salad potato with cream flesh lifted by honey and primrose. The skin peels off easily when cooked to reveal a pale cream flesh.
The aromas of the cooked potato are of freshly cut grass, a meadow freshness with a hint of citrus, finishing with notes of sweet butter.
In the mouth the Maris Peer potato has a fresh, clean appeal. It is medium bodied, with a subtle, elegant expression of flavour, with undertones of cream and butter and highlights of fresh green peas and asparagus. It is very well balanced in the mouth, with a long finish, or ending, to the complex flavours. The texture is firm, and holds its shape well.
