Melanzane Rosso di Rotonda, also known as the red eggplant of Rotonda, is a unique Italian vegetable variety that originates from the Basilicata region in southern Italy. The eggplant has a distinctive appearance: the fruit is round and has an intense red color which is often compared to that of a tomato. This rare product is rich in flavor, with a slightly bitter aftertaste and a firm texture, making it ideal for traditional southern Italian dishes. Melanzane Rosso is a Protected Regional Product (DOP) which guarantees that Melanzane Rosso di Rotonda is grown and processed according to strict rules. This protects both the quality and the origin of the product.
