Extra Jam of Neapolitan Long Pumpkin 

One of the typical products of the province of Naples is the “Zucca Lunga” or “Cocozza Zuccarina” (Long Neapolitan pumpkin), a typical vegetable that is the basis of many recipes of the local tradition.
With its characteristic elongated shape (it can even exceed 30 kg and reach a length of one meter), with orange skin and green stripes, a pulp with a sweet and aromatic taste, the “Cocozza” is a mine of minerals – salts, sugars, vitamin C, beta-carotene, fiber and potassium. It is ideal for slimming diets because it gives a feeling of satiety despite being low in calories and lends itself to countless recipes, such as the most typical recipes in which “Cocozza” roasted with garlic and chilli is used in the preparation of soups, minestrone, pasta or in preserves and oil. Today it is cultivated according to modern criteria and with a focus on quality, and the harvest takes place from July to September. The seeds are used to make “Seminchi”, a tasty snack at the end of a Sunday meal, rich in vitamin A.
