friggitello

In Italy the friggitello is most associated with Tuscany.

Even though it is often pickled, the friggitello has a complex flavor which is appreciated most when it is eaten fresh.

The friggitello (plural friggitelli) is a sweet Italian chili pepper of the species Capsicum annuum.

The friggitello is mild with a slight heat and a hint of bitterness, and is sometimes pickled and sold in jars.

Like many other cultivars of Capsicum annuum, the friggitello requires a warm climate with a lot of sunlight and is not tolerant of frost.
