Product Description

The Round Carosello from Fasano is a traditional cucumber-melon variety from the Fasano area in Puglia, Italy. Recognized for its round, plump fruits, it has a light green to pale striped skin with a crisp, refreshing flesh that tastes like a mild cucumber with a hint of melon sweetness. Unlike standard cucumbers, this Carosello variety has a smooth, non-bitter flavor and is prized for its juiciness and versatility in fresh dishes. Known for its heat tolerance, it’s an ideal plant for warm climates and thrives in Mediterranean gardens, often featured in salads or served as a refreshing snack.
