Origin and Breeding History
Pizza isn't the first thing you think of when it comes to potatoes. Yet the name Fontane has something to do with pizza. The grower, Eerke Pot van Lantmännen Seed B.V., is very fond of a pizzeria called Fontana.
Because the name was not initially approved, they decided to change one letter and arrived at the name Fontane. The Fontane variety is intended for the processing industry and is Agrico’s largest monopoly variety.
The crossing from which Fontane originated was made in 1986 at Agrico Research. The parents varieties, Agria and AR 76-34-3, have already individually been the source of many different offspring brought onto the market.
