Conquista Savoy cabbage is an early variety with high vigour, producing green, slightly flattened sphere-shaped heads.
Its botanical name is Brassica oleracea var. sabauda, belonging to the Cruciferae family (Brassicaceae). Heads can weigh up to 3 kg each and are surrounded by large, protective leaves with the typical crinkled, blistered surface.
Being an early variety, sowing and transplanting can take place in the first suitable periods of the season, allowing for an earlier harvest compared to other savoy cabbage cultivars.
Thanks to its high vigour, it adapts well to different growing conditions. It prefers cool, well-fertilised soils with good water availability throughout the growing cycle.
The large, protective leaves naturally shield the developing head: still, respect adequate transplanting distances to promote good plant growth.
Like other Brassicaceae, it can be affected by cabbage white caterpillars and aphids. Good airflow between plants helps prevent the main fungal diseases.
Savoy cabbage is known for its therapeutic properties and can also be eaten raw; in the kitchen it is mostly used to prepare soups, stews, or to wrap other dishes in its leaves. It contains an active compound that protects the stomach lining.
