Details
A superb heirloom brought to the United States from Italy many years ago. Tender and sweet, thin skinned, 4" fruits, turn brilliant red and are produced very early. Flavor is good when harvested green, but becomes sweeter and more intense when allowed to mature. Great fresh, stuffed or fried. Non-Isolated.
