About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

This is ‚Di Jesi’, an old, seed‑stable landrace from the Italian region around Jesi. It grows vigorously and forms large, cream‑white heads. As a mid to late autumn variety, you plant it in early summer and harvest it from October, when the nights are already cooler. It needs space and even watering, but rewards you with aromatic flowers.

You will find it bolder and more aromatic than many hybrids, with a pleasantly nutty core. It tastes especially good when roasted in the oven.
