Declarations of Inferences and Presumptions: Note: the shop lists this pack only on its French URL, and has since retitled it "(étoile unique) 40g" and stripped its attribute table. The cultivar comes from that table as it stood in the Internet Archive capture of 2024-04-23 and on the live page as recently as 2026-08-23; the 50 g pack size is the one the shop sold.
