Syn. Butternut Rugosa, Wrinkled Butternut
Cucurbita moschata ‘Violina’ is a large, rare, Italian heirloom butternut-type pumpkin, named for its vaguely violin shape but it actually looks more like a huge peanut. It has a wrinkled tan skin and deep orange, sweet, very smooth flesh with a small seed cavity at one end. It weighs 4 – 6 kg and is particularly useful for desserts, roasting, stuffing and baking.
