Introducing our new white cauliflower which has less curd cover than traditional varieties making the curd easier to see at harvest while still staying white.
Curdivex®
The name Curdivex® originated from the most important traits in the cauliflower:
1.) The white curd
2.) A diverse set of unique genetic traits
3.) Flexibility at harvest
Together they form the umbrella brand Curdivex®. The most important characteristic of this new Curdivex® series is the white curd. The benefits and most important properties of the cauliflower variety brand are immediately visible in the logo that we have developed.
The most important characteristics of Curdivex®

- Have uniform maturity – for less harvest passes and faster crop turnaround
- Are easier to harvest – have high heads with less curd cover
- Excellent shelf life – the curd will stay whiter for longer
