Camarosa strawberry
Fragaria × ananassa · Berry
Top 10 pairings
Camarosa is the big, firm, deep-red workhorse strawberry — a large-fruited California cultivar bred for size, colour, yield and durability, and for years one of the most widely planted shipping and processing strawberries in the world. It is the archetypal supermarket berry: glossy, evenly scarlet, sturdy enough to travel, and reliably sweet-tart rather than delicate or perfumed.
