Rating4.5 Read the review(s)

The amazing thing about Latino is the characteristic ribbing, which looks as if someone has carefully peeled off a fine strip of skin.

As a vegetable it looks simply amazing when served cut in rounds - it looks like little cog wheels! It just happens to be great on flavour too.

Superb variety of courgette. Require lots of water for fat fruit but all mine show equal if not better ribbing as that in the pictures provided. Very tasty fruit. Great for kids when steamed or roasted with a yellow and a spherical variety for contrast. You can't beat these beauties.
