Overview
Rotonda Bianca Sfumata di Rosa is a mid-season Italian heirloom with roundish fruit of 3 to 4 inches by 4 to 5 inches, white skin shaded with rose-pink deepening as the fruit ripens. Inside, the firm creamy flesh is sweet with no trace of bitterness, so no salting is needed, and the thick walls and rounded form make it a good candidate for stuffing and baking whole as well as slicing. It has a medium-late cycle, so start indoors 8 weeks before transplanting and give it a full hot summer to size up. Harvest as soon as the rosy blush has spread over the skin; fruit left longer turns fully rose and the texture coarsens.
