Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms a vigorous rosette of leaves with long and fleshy stalks that have a yellowish hue. To obtain more tender and lighter stalks, hilling the base or covering the plants approximately 15 days before harvesting is practiced.

The variety is a traditional Italian representative of the species, which may also appear in catalogs as Gigante Dorato di Asti. The plant's maturity is characterized as medium-early or mid-season, although exact parameters may vary depending on the producer's selection.

In cooking, it is used primarily fresh, as well as an ingredient for soups, sauces, and vegetable side dishes. The variety should be distinguished from celeriac varieties, and the designation Gigante Dorato 2 in some cases may indicate a specific breeding line.
