A new range of premium products from Franchi for 2006, many of which are exclusive to Seeds of Italy. Products of particular interest, highly selected seed, locally produced seed in some cases. As a result, some of the seed quantities with the chilli's are less than you would normally expect with a regular Franchi pack, but only because the seed is rare because it is only locally produced and hence can only be given in limited quantities. For instance, out of 12 chilli's half are Italian and 9 in total are traditional, genuine European vareities.
Some of the varieties in our online catalogue are endorsed by Cucina Caldesi. Their new series for BBC is being filmed now, but you can buy their new BBC Cookbook whilst you wait !!
