Product Description

The ‘Barattiere Carosello’ is an Italian cucumber-melon variety native to Southern Italy, particularly popular in the regions of Puglia and Basilicata. This unique fruit is round to slightly oval, with a smooth, light green skin that may have faint striations. Known for its mild, refreshing flavor, it has a juicy, crisp flesh that is entirely free from bitterness and combines the freshness of cucumber with a hint of melon sweetness. The ‘Barattiere’ is ideal for fresh summer salads or as a hydrating snack and is appreciated for its heat tolerance and productivity in Mediterranean climates.
