Cucumber
Crispy, fresh, and grown in the irrigated lands of Sicily—the Scuzzarello cucumber meets the highest quality standards for large-scale retail trade, distribution, and foreign markets.
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE PRODUCTION · ACATE, SICILY
From Sicilian soil to the table: cucumber cultivation
On the 12 hectares dedicated to fresh vegetables at the Scuzzarello Farm, cucumbers are grown taking advantage of the Mediterranean microclimate of the areas between Acate and Niscemi. Fertile soils with ample water availability, modern cultivation techniques that respect natural cycles, and meticulous agronomic management from planting to harvest result in a cucumber with a glossy appearance, firm flesh, and superior crunchiness. These attributes make it suitable for retail and export, with consistent quality guaranteed batch after batch.
