Jimmy Nardello Italian
New!
This fine Italian pepper was grown each year by
Giuseppe and Angella Nardiello, at their garden in
the village of Ruoti, in Southern Italy. In 1887 they set
sail with their one-year-old daughter Anna for a new
life in the USA. When they reached these shores, they
settled and gardened in Naugatuck, Connecticut,
and grew this same pepper that was named for their
fourth son Jimmy. This long, thin-skinned frying pepper
dries easily and has such a rich flavor that this
variety has been placed in "The Ark of Taste" by the
Slow Food organization. Ripens a deep red, is very
prolific, and does well in most areas.
