Chateau is a variety that can be considered to be a true 'salad potato’. Salad potatoes need to have a long oval tuber shape, in combination with a firm cooking type. Chateau is also known for its exquisite taste profile and with that it fits perfectly in the high-quality potato segment. In France, after a separate two-year process, Chateau has been given the classification ''Chair Ferme''.
