Polignano Carrots (Carote di Polignano)

Carote di Polignano is a traditional carrot variety originating from the Polignano area in the province of Bari. These carrots range in color from pale yellow over deep orange to dark purple. The seeds are selected by the growers who plant them in small plots and choose the best plants.

The carrots are replanted between August 15 and September 15, while the harvest takes place from the first week of November until early May. The flavors of these carrots are extraordinary due to the sandy fields with high salinity in which they are grown.
