Negramoll - Traube

Origin

It was first mentioned in Andalusia in 1787 under the name Mollar. It was widespread in the Canary Islands (Spain) and Madeira (Portugal) in the 19th century. It was probably brought to these islands from Andalusia in the 18th century. But the variety could be much older. A document from 1614 and other sources suggest that a variety called Mollar was already being cultivated in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Peru at that time. According to DNA analyses, the South American Mollar and the Spanish Negramoll are identical.
