The first mention of a golden or variegated mâche variety is found in the catalog of grain merchant Auguste Dony, of Antheit (1898). From 1926, it appears in the Gonthier catalog, under the name mâche à cœur jaune ou dorée. From 1956 onwards, its trace is lost before being unearthed again by a family of seed growers from the Huy region.
