Description

The heirloom that bridges pumpkin and pie perfection. ‘Long Island Cheese’ produces flattened, ribbed fruits resembling a wheel of aged cheese, with smooth buff-colored skin and dense, deep orange flesh. The flavor is rich, sweet, and custard-like—ideal for baking.

Fruits weigh 6–10 pounds on vigorous vines and store well through winter. Their fine texture and high sugar content make them a favorite for traditional pies and soups.

An American heirloom dating back to the 1800s and named for its shape, this variety remains a baker’s treasure—beautiful, storied, and superbly flavored.
