Also known as Musquée de Provence pumpkins, this famous French heirloom boasts a squat shape with deep lobes, resembling a giant wheel of cheese. Their vibrant orange flesh boasts a dense, exceptionally sweet flavor that surpasses typical pie pumpkins. It’s common to enjoy Fairytale, both raw or roasted, in everything from classic pumpkin pies and breads to savory soups, purées, and risottos.
Look for pumpkins with a firm exterior, a vibrant orange color, and a sturdy green stem. Cut with care, away from children. Secure your cutting board, use a chef’s knife to cut the pumpkin into halves or quarters, and scoop out the seeds before roasting.
