The Musque de Provence is a very old, traditional variety from the south of France, prized for its particularly beautiful appearance, its dense, sweet, orange flesh and its unique, musky aroma and unusually complex flavor. Unlike most pumpkins and squash, the Musque is traditionally eaten fresh, cut from the middle like a wedge of cheese and thinly sliced.
