White Jesi Cauliflower
White Jesi Cauliflower, also known as "early Jesi cauliflower", is a traditional Italian variety grown since the late 19th century in the Marche region between Jesi and San Benedetto del Tronto. It stands out for its globe-shaped inflorescence, made up of white curds, enclosed by broad ash-grey leaves.
The White Jesi Cauliflower Plant
Its botanical name is Brassica oleracea var. botrytis, belonging to the Cruciferae family (Brassicaceae). Over the years, the variety has undergone repeated selection to improve its commercial traits: originally the head was yellowish with spiral, cone-shaped bumps, while today it is more regular and white in colour, while retaining the earliness and hardiness typical of this historic variety.
How to Sow White Jesi Cauliflower
Being an early variety, transplanting is generally done in spring-summer, for a harvest that can begin as early as autumn. The growing cycle is shorter than that of late varieties, in line with the tradition of fast cultivation that characterises this cauliflower.
How to Grow White Jesi Cauliflower
White Jesi cauliflower prefers medium-textured, cool, well-drained soils with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5. It is a hardy variety, able to tolerate less fertile soils compared to more demanding cultivars, which makes it well suited to traditional, family-scale growing.
Harvest when the florets of the head are still tightly closed and compact, cutting plants at the collar and leaving a few protective leaves for handling.
Tips for Growing White Jesi Cauliflower
Thanks to its hardiness, it requires less intensive care than other varieties, but it is still important to keep the soil free of weeds and ensure regular irrigation in the early growth stages after transplanting.
Diseases and Pests of white Jesi cauliflower
Like other Brassicaceae, it can be affected by downy mildew and bacterial diseases, favoured by warm, humid conditions. Cabbage white caterpillars are the most common pests: good weed control and targeted Bacillus thuringiensis treatments help keep them in check.
Properties of white Jesi cauliflower
White Jesi cauliflower is low in calories yet highly nutritious, rich in vitamin C, fibre and minerals such as potassium and phosphorus. As a traditional variety, it is often featured in Marche regional cuisine and autumn recipes from the area.
