Pepper Corno di Toro (Sweet Pepper)

Italian Heirloom Corno di Toro Pepper

Discover the delicious Pepper Corno di Toro, an Italian heirloom sweet pepper whose name aptly translates to “horn of the bull,” a nod to its distinctive full and tapered shape. These impressive fruits ripen to a vibrant, bright red and grow substantially, reaching 8 to 10 inches in length and 2 1/2 to 3 inches in width at the top.

The Corn di Toro pepper boasts a sweet, crisp, and full-bodied flavor, making it a versatile and tasty addition to your culinary repertoire. Enjoy it fresh and raw to appreciate its crispness, fry it for a sweet and tender treat, stuff it with your favorite fillings, or grill it for a smoky sweetness.

You can expect to harvest these delightful peppers about 75 days after transplanting.

For optimal growth, start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Once the danger of frost has passed, transplant seedlings outdoors to a sunny location with well-drained soil. Provide support such as stakes or cages, as the plants can become quite productive.

Water regularly and consistently, and fertilize as needed to encourage healthy growth and fruit development. Harvest the bright red peppers when they are firm and have reached their full size and color. Their sweet flavor and substantial size make them a rewarding addition to any garden.
