Some times called Friarello or Napoleatano, this sweet light green frying pepper from Naples turns a brilliant red when ripe. 12cm long by 2-3cm wide, this pepper has a very thin skin that essentially disappears during cooking. Produces mid season and is very productive.

We're in Berrima, Southern Highlands, NSW. We grow this variety in our flourishing school garden at Berrima Public School. This is a very productive plant, and we all love the peppers fried. They take a few mins in hot olive oil, then sprinkled with a tiny amount of vinegar and salt, and are downed whole, held by the little stem. I hadn't eaten Italian Frying Peppers until two years ago and am now hooked. These ones not spicey so good for kids too.
