About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

An old Italian variety with strongly ribbed fruits in light and dark green that show a pretty star shape in cross section. In flavour it is one of the more aromatic courgettes and appeals above all to lovers of Mediterranean cooking. The fruits stay firm and tender even at some size. Striato d'Italia is open-pollinated, so you can save your own seed for the coming years as long as no other squash species is flowering nearby.

Nutty and mild with a delicate sweetness; cut into thick slices and grilled, the aroma shows at its best.
