An heirloom variety that produces thick, solid, and uniform snow-white heads with tight curds, typically 17-20 cm (7-8 inches) in diameter. It is a cool-weather crop that is somewhat self-blanching, meaning the large outer leaves naturally curl around the developing head to protect it from the sun, though many gardeners still tie them for better results. This plant is known for its reliability and is a good choice for both early and late-season crops.
