Papaw’s Garden Supply: Helping The Next Generation To Grow With Nature.
Scientific name: Daucus carota var. sativus Bolero
Bolero carrots are absolutely our favorite variety of orange carrots. This hybrid variety offers great disease resistance, superb flavor, and storage potential. The Bolero variety is a heavy Nantes type that produces cylindrical carrots with blunt ends and little tapering from top to bottom. It produces large, heavy tops, making them easy to pull from the ground during harvest. Bolero carrot has a juicy taste and crunchy texture, which makes it great for raw consumption or cooking. It also holds up well in storage. Harvested carrots (with or without tops) will hold in cold storage for several weeks. They can also be blanched and frozen, retaining texture and flavor in the freezer.
