What can I say about the Scopattizo di San Luigi that I have not already said before? This is a southern Italian immature muskmelon that is consumed like a cucumber. The flavor is very good (some say it is the best) and the texture is very nice.
With all that being said,
the Scopattizo di San Luigi is extremely difficult to harvest
high-quality seeds from the fruit. I have been working on this for
several years now, without consistent results. So – even though this is a
wonderful cucumber variety that I would love to share with others, it
is not ready for the general public. Sorry folks. Hopefully, in several
years we can get this variety growing so that it produces full heavy
seeds. Until then, enjoy the pictures!
