Camarosa is a variety that is sweet and has good flavour when fully ripe. But talk about BIG - 2 /1/2 to 3 inches long! Here strawberries are commonly sold in small, 250g punnets - (clam shells?) You couldn't fit 2 Camarosas in a small punnet like that. Not all were so big, but they would be the biggest strawberry I've seen.

If you get a chance to grow them try Camerosas, they are even better than properly ripened Chandlers. I think that refrigeration also affects the flavors of strawberries. When I lived near the strawberry capital of Florida I used to buy my berries from a produce stand that prided itself on their berries never being refrigerated. They were great!
We grew Chandler, which is one
of the varieties used for those huge, gorgeous berries we see in the
supermarkets, in our high tunnels two years ago. We got those huge gorgeous
berries, and we picked them ripe for sale the next day. Customers LOVED
them. They had a GREAT taste.
