Strawberries are one of the most irresistible and delicious fruits we can enjoy, a bite that very few can resist. Visually, they are stunning with their heart shape and the bright red color that characterizes them. Their distinctive aroma, when they are fresh and in season, is a delight. As for their texture and flavor—sweet, juicy, and with a hint of acidity—they make for a delicacy and a pleasure for the senses.

It’s no wonder that strawberries are the stars of their season, not only for their aroma and flavor but also for their versatility in the kitchen and for the amount of nutritional benefits they can provide.

Strawberry Varieties

The strawberries as we know them today, which we mistakenly often call strawberries, are the fruit of the plantFragaria x ananassa, a hybrid created by French botanists in the 18th century and which is a cross between two species of wild strawberries: theFragaria chiloensis native to Chile and theFragaria virginiana from the United States. This hybrid later arrived in Spain, which today, thanks to our excellent Mediterranean climate, is the world's leading exporter and the second in strawberry production.

Although the majority of strawberry production is centered in the province of Huelva, it is also produced in other regions. The Maresme region in Barcelona is the second in production, but strawberries are also grown in the Galician garden, in Aranjuez, where their strawberries are highly valued, and, of course, in Valencia.

There are countless varieties of strawberries, and each variety has its own unique characteristics of size, shape, flavor, and texture. Some of the most commonly cultivated strawberry varieties in Spain include the following:

• Camarosa: Large fruit with firm, deep red flesh, both outside and inside. It is a variety with a lot of flavor.
• Sabrina: It is one of the most cultivated varieties due to the hardiness of its plant. The fruit is large, cylindrical in shape, and light red in color.
• Charlotte: Medium-sized, with very intense flavor and excellent quality.
• Rociera: A strawberry of high quality and very good flavor. It is one of the varieties most produced in Huelva.
• Pájaro: These are conical-shaped strawberries with firm flesh and very bright red color. One of the best in taste.
