Volovsko (Volovo) Srce is widely distributed through Europe under different names. Volovsko Srce Val is improved VS by seed company Semenarna Ljubljana. I don't know what the improvement was, since I've never grown VAL.
My grandmother used to grow tons of VS and as far as I remember it was pink. I think VAL is red, but I'm not sure. Never tasted one either.
I scanned seed packet of VS, you'll notice Italian translation of the name.
The second picture is VAL from seed catalog. VAL has ribbed shoulders like some new bottom heavy oxhearts varieties.
