Trophy

French breeding for professional salad production

The 'Trophy' corn salad (mâche) by Clause is the go-to choice for growers who prioritize harvest consistency over experimentation. French breeders have developed a variety that fits perfectly into an intensive production cycle, offering farmers predictable results with minimal downtime.

Key advantages

• Optimal vegetation: A maturity period of 50–60 days allows for precise market supply planning, avoiding the delays common with less uniform varieties.
• Market appeal: The deep, dark green leaf color makes 'Trophy' a standout at the point of sale. Customers naturally gravitate toward this shade, as it signals freshness and a robust structure.
• Leaf structure: The plant forms a neat rosette that packs efficiently, significantly reducing waste during the packaging process.

Performance insights

To maximize the potential of 'Trophy', ensure adequate moisture and moderate temperatures. Unlike fast-growing but fragile alternatives, this variety rewards a slightly more attentive cultivation approach with a dense, crisp product that boasts a superior flavor profile. It is perfectly suited for the HoReCa segment and retail chains, where shelf life post-harvest is critical. If you are looking for a reliable 'workhorse' for your fresh greens supply chain, the French genetics from Clause provide a solid foundation for your operations.
