RIO RICO, AZ - Malena Produce is excited to showcase its newest product at IFPA’s Global Produce & Floral Summit. Zucchiolo®, a 2024 Fruit Logistica Innovation Award winner, is a new vegetable variety that Malena Produce believes will tantalize American consumers.

Born under the sun in Southern Spain, Zucchiolo resembles a blend of a zucchini, cucumber, and tomato, but is the result of crossing a cucumber and a zucchini.
