Note
A beautiful variety found at Baumaux in 2012. The Voletta bean is very similar to the Beurre de Rocquencourt. The main difference I’ve found between the two is that Voletta always produces beautiful, straight pods, unlike Beurre de Rocquencourt, which is often a little twisted towards the end.

It is said to be an improvement on the Wachs Beste von Allen variety , an old Swiss variety found only on a few German-language sites.
