features
Orange or yellow pulp, green or pale skin, large or small, round or elongated: there are different varieties of pumpkin, with more extravagant shapes and more flamboyant colors, and with more unusual and particular flavors.
Originally from the temperate zones of Central America, after being imported into Europe, it has had the opportunity to differentiate and cross into myriads of varieties, present in our territory since the end of summer.
This specific type of pumpkin, the Priest's Hat, is a novelty of our cooperative, introduced in collaboration with Arcoiris and has a peculiar turban shape. It has a lighter pulp than other pumpkins, firm and low in fiber: this makes it excellent as a filling for tortelli and in the preparation of gnocchi or in the oven.
