Carrots on the plateau
The production specification places the start of carrot cultivation in the Fucino area in 1950. It allows a range of cultivars: the protected name belongs to the place and the defined product, rather than to one single variety.

Slice it finely for a salad, or roast it in larger pieces. For a tasting comparison, set it beside the early-season carrot from Ispica.
