CASTELFRANCO RADICCHIO
Castelfranco Radicchio
Origin: Veneto, Italy
Castelfranco radicchio is a stunning winter chicory with cream-coloured leaves delicately speckled with burgundy. Known as the "edible flower" or "rose of winter," this mild and slightly bitter leaf brings elegance to any winter table.
This beautiful radicchio offers a more delicate flavour than other chicory varieties, with a perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness. Its crisp texture and visual appeal make it ideal for both raw and cooked applications.
This is what to do with it: Enjoy Castelfranco raw in salads with walnuts and pears, grill lightly with olive oil, or braise gently with butter and white wine. The bitter notes pair beautifully with rich ingredients like pancetta or gorgonzola.
Producer: Sourced from small-scale farmers in the Veneto region who cultivate this prized variety using traditional methods that respect its historical significance and delicate growing requirements.
Net: One extra large head (single portion)
