About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

A classic Italian variety with long, slender and glossy dark purple fruit, just as you know it from the Mediterranean vegetable garden. It grows vigorously and ripens mid early, so you can get a good crop in our latitudes too, in the greenhouse or a sheltered spot outdoors. The aromatic flesh has few seeds and is ideal for grilling, stuffing and preserving in oil. Since it is open pollinated, you can save your own seed for the next season.

Aromatic and mild with firm flesh and thin skin, well suited to slices from the grill.
