Description
The heirloom pumpkin that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. ‘Long Island Cheese’ bears smooth, buff-colored fruits shaped like a wheel of aged cheese, weighing 6–10 pounds each. Inside, the dense, deep orange flesh is fine-grained, rich, and custard-sweet—perfect for pies, soups, and roasting.
Vigorous vines produce reliably in most climates, with fruits that store exceptionally well through winter without losing flavor or texture. The rind hardens into a warm tan shell that protects the sweet interior for months.
First grown along New York’s Long Island coast in the early 1800s, this variety was once the region’s premier pie pumpkin. Today, it endures as a symbol of heritage flavor—smooth, sweet, and timelessly elegant.
