Rosa Bianca

Rosa Bianca is a classic Italian heirloom eggplant celebrated for its beautiful appearance and mild, creamy flesh. The plump, rounded to teardrop fruits have lavender-pink skin softly streaked and shaded with white, giving them an ornamental, marbled look. The flesh is white, tender, and notably mild, with little of the bitterness found in some eggplants, and it holds a delicate, creamy texture when cooked. Rosa Bianca is a favorite for grilling, roasting, and Mediterranean dishes. Plants are moderately productive and, like most eggplants, need warmth and a long season to fruit well. Home gardeners and chefs value this variety for its gourmet flavor and striking rose-and-white coloring.
