Italy
There are 3 varieties of Armenian cucumber in Italy: Tortarello abruzzese, Tortarello barese and Tortarello siciliano. In the Abruzzo region, this variety is grown mainly on the coast, along river valleys and in medium to low hills. Production is mainly concentrated in the province of Chieti, particularly in Vasto and the Trigno valley, as well as in the Molise region. It almost entirely replaces the cultivation and consumption of the common cucumber.
