Description
The striped Italian heirloom of rich, nutty flavor. ‘Cocozelle’ produces slender, cylindrical fruits with light and dark green striping and tender, flavorful flesh. The texture is firm yet delicate, with excellent taste whether fried, grilled, or baked.
Vining plants are vigorous and long-bearing, producing steady yields all summer. The fruits are best harvested at 6–8 inches for perfect texture and sweetness.
An old Italian variety dating back to the 1800s, ‘Cocozelle’ remains a gardener’s favorite for its striking appearance and full-bodied flavor—classic, rustic, and endlessly rewarding.
