This is a very popular old variety of butternut squash from southern Italy. There are many different local forms, this one being a very large and thick meated variety grown principally around Bari, Italy. The plants are vigorous and very productive. The squash are used in a myriad of local dishes, from sweets to stews. Baking the rich flesh is a time honoured tradition, the result rivaling even a good sweet potato.
