The Corno di Toro Yellow Pepper, an Italian heirloom variety, is celebrated for its distinctive bull's horn shape and versatile culinary uses. Translating to "Horn of the Bull," this sweet frying pepper grows to an impressive 8-10 inches long, tapering gracefully to a point. With its thick walls and crisp texture, this pepper is perfect for various dishes, whether roasted, stuffed, fried or enjoyed fresh in salads.
This variety ripens from green to a glossy golden yellow, delivering a full-bodied, sweet flavor with subtle citrus undertones. While primarily sweet, the Corno di Toro Yellow can develop mild to medium heat depending on growing conditions, making it slightly milder than its red counterpart. Its rich, golden color and balanced flavor make it a favorite for roasting alongside red peppers for a vibrant and delicious combination.
The plants are strong and productive, growing to 30-48 inches tall and holding their hefty fruits high for easy picking. Beloved by Italian chefs, home gardeners, and market growers alike, the Corno di Toro Yellow pepper is a must-grow variety for anyone seeking a flavorful, versatile, and visually striking addition to their garden and kitchen. Non-Isolated.
