Rouge vif D'Estampes / Cinderella Pumpkin
Rouge Vif d'Étampes — the Cinderella Pumpkin — is one of the most beautiful and historically significant pumpkins in existence, its deeply ribbed, brilliantly burnt-orange flattened shape serving as the original model for Cinderella's carriage and making it one of the most iconic and recognizable pumpkins at any autumn market or harvest display. The rich, sweet flesh is outstanding in soups, pies, and roasted preparations, and the dramatic form makes it as valuable as a decorative centerpiece as it is in the kitchen.
