Savoy Cabbage
Savoy cabbage, also known as Milan cabbage, is a well-known vegetable grown in nearly every Italian region. It is recognizable by its crinkled, wrinkled leaves, with prominent veins, which form a loosely packed head of light green or red-purple color.
The Savoy cabbage Plant
Botanically it is a Brassica oleracea var. sabauda, part of the Brassicaceae family. It is a biennial plant grown as an annual, with a shallow taproot and an upright stem bearing numerous bubbled leaves, green on the outside and whitish-yellow on the inside.
It is a hardy vegetable, among the most adaptable of the cabbage family, with good cold tolerance.
How to Sow Savoy cabbage
Sowing takes place in a seedbed, more rarely in the open field, burying the seeds about 1-2 cm deep. The timing varies depending on the desired maturity period: from January to May for summer-autumn varieties, April-May for late varieties, and August-September for early ones. Transplanting takes place once seedlings are about 20 cm tall, spacing them 50 cm apart along the row and 60 cm between rows.
How to Grow Savoy cabbage
This variety favors a temperate-humid climate, with good cold tolerance but limited drought resistance. It adapts to all soil types, even compact ones, as long as they are cool, deep and well-drained, with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5.
Harvest of Savoy cabbage takes place before the plant flowers, typically in winter for winter varieties, though spring and summer types also exist with different timing.
Tips for Growing Savoy cabbage
Watering should be kept consistent, since Savoy cabbage does not withstand long periods of drought; a layer of mulch helps limit evaporation and keep the soil moist. Companion planting with tomatoes, celery, lettuce and beans favors more balanced growth.
Diseases and Pests of Savoy cabbage
Common pests include cabbage white butterflies, cockchafers, cabbage root flies and slugs, which chew on the leaves and can be kept away by scattering ash around the plant base. Common fungal diseases include root rot and powdery mildew.
Properties of Savoy cabbage
The leaves of this cabbage are rich in vitamins and beneficial substances, with a modest calorie content. It is a versatile vegetable in the kitchen, suitable both for cooked preparations, such as soups and side dishes, and for raw consumption in finely shredded salads.
