The quest.
Moba sprouted from a vision – to craft not just delicious, but transformative food. The principle is simple, yet transcendent: exceptional food stems from exceptional ingredients. Our mission is to create dishes that not only tantalize the taste buds but also enrich every aspect of our lives. However, we notice that the current food landscape falls short and does not serve the purpose that we want to revive. That’s why all Moba dishes start their journey right in the Moba garden. Here we cultivate delicious heirloom varieties celebrated for their distinctive taste and alluring aromas.
For a long time, we’ve been searching for the refined squash sort to complement the dishes we’ve been dreaming about for years. And then we found Lodi. A small, aromatic wonder. A perfectly balanced combination of sweetness and floral notes, sealed by nature into a small fruit with a powerful aroma. Nature has won. Again.
The Lodi wonder.
After 110 days of meticulous care in the Moba garden, every Lodi squash is harvested at the pinnacle of its ripeness. This occurs when nature completes its part, endowing the fruit with a distinct and flawless bronze hue. Measuring a mere 4 inches in diameter, the fruit cradles perfectly in the palm of your hand. With its unmistakable depth of taste and velvety texture, it introduces a novel dimension to the culinary experience.
Inspiration.
Got a surprise squash from Moba with your online order? Whether it’s destined for your plate or your décor, the possibilities are endless. Grill, bake, steam, sauté, or let it steal the spotlight as a captivating table decoration – for up to three months.
For enthusiasts of baked specialties, particularly during the winter months, we suggest this straightforward recipe. Cut the Lodi squash in half, drizzle olive oil over it, generously sprinkle with salt, and bake it face down at 200°C for 15-20 minutes. Flip and continue roasting until you get an irresistibly soft, caramelized pulp.
And how did we incorporate Lodi into our dishes?
