Pumpkin Varieties

Our national pumpkin crops are concentrated in Valencia and Ciudad Real. Among our annual production volume of pumpkins, a notable percentage corresponds to traditional varieties. These are pumpkins grown from our own seeds that we select year after year, with two objectives: to produce increasingly higher quality pumpkins and to contribute to the preservation of traditional pumpkin varieties, with notable organoleptic qualities.

Traditional pumpkin varieties are more difficult to produce, generate additional costs, their fruit sizes vary and production is lower. However, they offer us a firmer, more aromatic flesh with a higher level of natural sugar. For this reason, for their quality and gastronomic and nutritional contributions, at Peris we are committed year after year to growing traditional variety pumpkins, because this is what the biggest fans of this product ask of us.
