This long ageing allows it to develop a deep aroma, great gustatory richness and remarkable aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from Asakaze cucumbers grown in Aizumi, in Tokushima Prefecture, it stands out for its firm and crunchy flesh, which retains a pleasant texture even after prolonged maturation.
