Cabbage Bloemendaalse Gele (Vegetable Explorer 10786)

An heirloom Dutch variety of loosely hearted pointed savoy. It is thought to date to the middle of the 19th century and was grown in the area of Bloemendal which was a major vegetable growing area for the markets of Haarlem and Amsterdam. The thin, light coloured leaves have a fantastic flavour and texture and it has now gained renewed popularity in top class Dutch restaurants as an epicurean vegetable.
