Pritavit sweet pepper

Ruth_10 · October 12, 2009

I ordered Pritavit Hybrid from TGS this year (I think last year was their first year for this one). It is the best tasting sweet pepper I've ever tasted. Even the green ones are good (I'm not much of a fan of uncooked green peppers). The TGS catalog say in Italy it is called a "topepo" type. Privitat is exceptionally sweet, thick fleshed, and crisp. Production was great and no health problems.

I've become a huge fan of Italian sweet peppers.

I don't know the name, the card got lost in the garden but I have a long sweet pepper in the garden. I would say it's similar to Big Jim but it's not. Any how I've been very impressed w/ the taste.

You would not mistake Pritivat for something similar in shape to Big Jim

. Pritavit is larger in diameter than it is from blossom to stem end, about the size of a somewhat flattened baseball.

I have a stash in the refrigerator and I've been taking them (sliced up) to work with me to snack on. Once I start they go fast, one slice after another until the whole thing is gone.

So, it's more of a pimento-type than a horn-type?

Yes, it resembles a pimento type.

For NEXT year I'm considering growing Pritivit & Giant Marconi in my home garden. Interested in additional comments on both varieties.
