922LONG ISLAND CHEESECert. BD/OG(C. moschata)HEIRLOOM from .New York. This big, beautiful, tan squash resembles a large wheel of cheese, which is where it gets its name. Similar in taste and texture to butternut, this has been hailed as one of the best squashes for "pumpkin" pie, and excellent for squash soup. The flesh is finer and sweeter than many pumpkins. Our average sized squashes were around 11lbs, but some were as much as 25lbs. Resists bacterial wilt.
