Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is long-vined, but not overly vigorous. Fruits have a blocky shape, resembling a wheel of cheese or butter. The rind is hard, colored in pale pink-orange tones.

The flesh is thick, bright orange, moist in consistency, and becomes cream-like when cooked. The fruit taste is mildly sweet or sweet, without a pronounced specific pumpkin odor. The variety possesses resistance to cold weather and powdery mildew.

The pumpkin is used for making juices, jams, baked goods, and roasting; it is also suitable for fresh consumption. The variety is characterized by a tendency toward rapid spoilage if storage conditions are violated or if overripe.
