Cucurbita maxima

This is a traditional Italian heirloom pumpkin with an iron bark skin. It takes a bit of effort to get into the fruit, however, once you are inside, you are treated to a superbly flavoured flesh that will do well with any meal. This is the pumpkin featured in Barbara Kingsolver’s book Animal, Vegetable Miracle.


Standard packet contains approx. 15 seeds

Petite packet contains approx. 5 seeds

If your garden is even slightly prone to mildew spare yourself the heartbreak. Maybe one day I'll get a pumpkin strong enough to prosper. Giving this 3 stars because i believe the flavour would be all that i hoped but - for me very weak and tricky to grow.

Probably the best-tasting pumpkin I've ever eaten. I'm definitely going to be planting this one every year. The skin is quite hard and takes a bit of elbow grease to cut open, But the unbelievable flavor of this delicious pumpkin is well worth the effort.

Don't bother to peel. Remove seeds and cut slices. Bake with olive oil until it starts to brown. Scoop flesh from skin.
Absolutely delicious. Silky smooth flesh and not watery.
