About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

An Italian frying pepper with long, thin-walled, slightly wavy fruits that you harvest by preference green and young. Classically fried in a little oil in the pan and salted, one of the most straightforward ways to enjoy peppers. The plants crop early and very generously over a long period. If you leave individual fruits hanging, they ripen through to red and turn sweeter. Open-pollinated.

Fried green it is mild and savoury with a fine bitter note, ripened red it is distinctly sweeter.
