A vendor offers this description: "This is the finest Heirloom Greek Pepperoncini available in the U.S. today! We tracked this fantastic Heirloom down in Stavros on Crete this past summer and convinced our Italian growers that this was something special. Bavicchi Sementi of Italy who rarely adds new items to their popular Italian lines loved it so much they did for us. Now enjoy what makes Greek Pepperoncini Peppers so special. (73 days)"
