Name comes from it's towm of origin, Muchamiel, Alicante, not because it is very sweet. It is a well known variety as it's fairly commercial and because its quite good (among commercial varieties
). There are also quite a few other things sold under that name. It was one of the commercial varieties before the hybrids.
I haven't grown it myself. What I've heard is that it's not that special.
There are also quite a few varieties accross all Spain under this same name, but most are very rare.
