Historic variety from Liguria from at least 1570 when it was described in the book "Dell'arte del Cucinare' by Bartolomeo Scappi but it declined dangerously and went into terrible decline, not because of it's quality which is superior, but because it requires more work than regular varieties. 'Discovered' again recently and highly prized for it's superb quality and flavour. Mid/late harvest. This deluxe variety is one of the tastiest and is a must try for it's typical pronounced flavour. It has been a well kept secret in Italy for centuries, but now you can try it yourself. 10 Crown pack. UK Only. Limited stocks - first-come-first-served. 1 year old crowns and not hybrid, therefore mixed M/F.
