Growing Corno di Toro Heirloom Red Pepper

‘Corno di Toro,’ meaning “Horn of the Bull,” is a classic Italian heirloom prized for its long, curved fruits and exceptional sweetness. Originating from Naples, the peppers mature to a rich deep red and offer excellent versatility in the kitchen.

Start ‘Corno di Toro’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep and space plants 24 to 36 inches apart. Grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs best with support as plants become loaded with fruit.

Ready to harvest in about 72 days, pick fruits once they reach the size and color you prefer, allowing them to ripen red for their fullest sweetness.

Sweet, tender, and versatile, ‘Corno di Toro’ is excellent for fresh eating, grilling, roasting, and everyday cooking.

Packs Quite A Punch

I grew these last year and they took off. Super easy to start indoors and transplanted well. I left a few to ripen on the vine and then picked late into the fall season. They turn a raging fire-engine red. Absolutely beautiful. Be forewarned: handle with gloves! I made the mistake of handling a few cut ones when dehydrating. My fingertips were burning for close to 12 hours. Otherwise still an excellent hot pepper.
