Pumpkins are a group of Eurasian cultivars of the pumpkin, a plant of Mesoamerican origin that arrived in the Old World during the Columbian Exchange. They would have been introduced to Japan by Portuguese navigators, and despite their current presence in French gastronomy, they would have reached Europe from Japan only late (a Japanese family would have brought this vegetable to France only in 1957). These first pumpkins, then called “Hokkaido sweet pumpkin”, spread quickly and widely in European gardens. It is from the latter that the variety called “French Potimarron” develops which is today one of the most cultivated in vegetable gardens with the Japanese varieties “Uchiki kuri”, “Akaguri” and “Red kuri”. Cucurbita moschata or butternut squash, the variety to which butternut squash belongs, comes more precisely from the northwest of Colombia and Mexico. It is still very popular in South America, where it even garnishes empañadas. Our artisanal and 100% homemade preserve without additives or preservatives, a delicious velouté that will delight your taste buds and those of your guests. Preparation advice: Reheat over low heat in a saucepan, stirring lightly. Pumpkin velouté goes perfectly with rather “evolved” dry white wine such as a good Arbois white, a Côtes du Jura white, a Savennières, a Reuilly white or even a Saint-Pourçain white.
