About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A proven, open pollinated variety for the home garden that forms firm, snow white curds. The plant wraps its heads well in its own leaves, so the curd stays shaded from the sun and comes through white. You sow it indoors from March and plant it out into the bed from May, then harvest in midsummer.
Mild and delicate in flavour, with a soft nutty note. Steamed or baked as a gratin, a dependable classic on the plate.
