This variety is known for its creamy, sweet, and aromatic flesh, compact and uniform fruits, and reliable harvest. Mennina Creme combines the classic characteristics of butternut squash with excellent cultivation qualities and is ideal for culinary use, sale, and long-term storage.

The flesh is deep orange, creamy, aromatic, and sweet, with a delicate nutty flavor. The compact seed cavity makes most of the fruit edible, making it an effective ingredient in a variety of dishes.
Mennina Creme belongs to the Cucurbita moschata family, meaning the plants are heat-tolerant, robust, and often disease-resistant.
