Bolognese Summer Squash

$5.00

Heirloom treasure from Italy, tracing its roots to the Bologna region in Emilia-Romagna. Unlike the long, slender zucchini we’re used to, these fruits are short and plump — halfway between a classic zucchini and a round courgette. Carefully selected over generations for their unique shape and flavour, they offer mild, creamy flesh with a fine texture, perfect for grilling, sautéing, or stuffing. Very rare. 50–60 dtm. 10 seeds.

Cucurbita pepo. Bolognese Summer Squash is a mix of a regular zucchini and a round variety. I loved these fruits and found them to be buttery with an amazing flavour. All my plants had seed squash growing on them and they still kept producing! I eat ton of zucchini every summer due to needing huge gene pools for the seeds and I did not tire of eating this variety. It preserved well as I dried them and stored with olive oil for the winter months. I am shocked this is such a rare variety in Canada and not more widely grown.
