Cabbage, 'Verza Moretta di Veronella'


*This seed is offered as part of the "Gusto Italiano Project", a collaborative partnership between Uprising Seeds, Italian breeders Smarties.Bio, and the Culinary Breeding Network. Certified organic seed is grown in Italy by Smarties.Bio, Chioggia, It.*

The "Moretta" cabbage is a traditional winter harvested savoy cabbage from the village of Veronella which lies between Verona and Padua in northern Italy. Like many regional specialties with roots in place in Italy and elsewhere, this variety is woven into the agricultural, cullinary, and cultural fabric of the area, and is celebrated with a "Sagra"  or harvest festival in the second half of November each year. Green savoyed leaves blush deep purple on the exterior as the weather cools while the interior remains blanched pale yellow. Excellent and cold hardy for winter harvest from June sowing.
