Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is characterized by the formation of large, dense, and hard heads, for which it received its name, which translates as "iron head". The plant possesses the blistered leaves characteristic of Savoy cabbage and is capable of forming heads covered by broad leaves.

This variety is a historical type of cabbage and is encountered under various synonyms, including "Grande de Invierno 2", "Tête de fer" or "IJzerkop". The plant is traditionally used for cultivation in the autumn-winter period due to its good resistance to the effects of low temperatures.
