Historical information on Barattieri Cucumbers

The Barattiere cucumber, also known as “cummarazzu” or “carosello barese,” is a typical vegetable of the Apulian peasant tradition, although it is not a true botanical cucumber, but rather a variety of melon.

Its history is lost among the cultivations in the vegetable gardens of southern Italy, where it was consumed fresh during the hot summer months, often as a refreshing snack.

The sweet and sour technique, dating back to ancient times, was an ingenious method for preserving vegetables for the winter, preserving their flavor and texture.

This recipe, passed down from generation to generation, carries with it the legacy of a simple cuisine, yet rich in flavor and history.
