Product Description

The Smooth Round Carosello from Manduria is a traditional Italian cucumber-melon variety native to the Manduria region in Puglia. Known for its round, smooth fruits, this variety has a light green skin and a mild, crisp flavor similar to a cucumber, with subtle sweetness and none of the bitterness. Its flesh is juicy and refreshing, making it a popular choice in summer salads or as a snack. This plant is heat-tolerant and produces high yields, adapting well to Mediterranean climates. Unlike regular cucumbers, the Carosello retains a unique flavor that is highly valued in Italian cuisine.
