Pointed Cabbage
Pointed cabbage, also known as sweetheart or hispi cabbage, sits within the brassica range that Hortiberia ships from the Region of Murcia to retailers and wholesalers across Europe. It is a cone-shaped head with tender leaves that works equally well on the fresh shelf and in prepared-salad lines, and the group's growers produce it in open field through the winter season, with field preparation and rapid cooling straight after harvest.

Full product sheet
Season and availability
Supply runs through November, December, January, February, March, April and May. Within that window, programmes are usually fixed on a weekly basis with volumes matched to each customer's forecast; outside it, no offer is maintained.
Sizes, weight and packaging
Heads are graded into sizes 9, 10 and 12, with a unit weight of 500 to 1,200 g depending on grade. The standard export presentation is:
- Cardboard box, 9 × 250, 2.3 kg: 208 boxes per Euro pallet and 260 per 100×120 pallet.
The product is available as organic and conventional. The organic line carries EU organic certification and follows the same calendar, so one supplier can cover both listings with a single programme.
Logistics, cold chain and assurance
The recommended transport temperature is 5-8 °C. The group's growers remove field heat immediately after cutting and hold the cold chain through to loading, which keeps the leaf crisp and extends shelf life at destination. Every consignment travels with lot and plot traceability, complies with EU rules on maximum residue levels and labelling, and comes from farms working under GLOBALG.A.P. and IFS or the equivalent standards required by the retail trade.
For seasonal programmes, the usual practice is to agree grade, format and loading frequency before the campaign starts and to review volumes each week as the crop develops. Hortiberia's commercial team coordinates production across the group's growers so that the buyer deals with a single counterpart throughout.
