Product Description

The Half-Long Carosello from Polignano is a unique Italian cucumber-melon variety hailing from Polignano in Puglia. Known for its elongated, cylindrical fruits with a light green, smooth skin, this Carosello variety combines the refreshing crunch of a cucumber with a hint of melon sweetness. The flesh is juicy, tender, and free from bitterness, making it perfect for fresh summer salads or eaten as a snack. Thriving in warm climates, this traditional plant is valued in Italian cuisine for its distinct flavor and exceptional ability to withstand hot Mediterranean summers, producing high yields.
