Baby pumpkins

Baby pumpkins have grown in full field before being harvested mature in September and naturally stored in a dry and airy place.
Available in different sizes and packages, baby pumpkin is in our range from early September to the end of February. Of course, it is booked in advance by our caterers in consequent quantities and in specific sizes for Halloween and for Christmas and New Year's events. |
It is also very appreciated by some chefs who use it as mini-soup tureens: they extract the flesh, cook it and pour back the prepared soup into it. A lot of other applications are dreamed and achieved by our customer artists.
