The cocozza zuccarina is the typical product of the ancient campania felix. The Neapolitan rural cuisine is very fond of it. It can weigh up to 30 kg and reach a length of up to one and a half meters. It is long and narrow but inside it is full and compact.
Great for its mineral content and its high dietary value. It easily provides a feeling of fullness but has very few calories.
