LA ROSA RADICCHIO
Origin: Veneto, Italy
Season: November - February
The Rose of Winter
This stunning rose-shaped radicchio, a protected variety from the Veneto region, is prized for its delicately bitter leaves arranged in tight, perfectly formed rose-like heads. Each radicchio is carefully forced and harvested by hand, resulting in crisp, tender leaves with a beautiful pink to deep red colouration and white ribs.
Protected by IGP status, La Rosa radicchio offers a more refined, less bitter flavour profile than other varieties, with a delicate sweetness that emerges especially when grilled or roasted. Its exceptional aesthetic appeal and tender texture make it a standout ingredient for winter salads.
Serve raw in salads, lightly grilled, or quartered and roasted with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The leaves can be separated and used as elegant cups for appetisers. For best results, soak in cold water before serving to enhance crispness.
Producer: Grown by specialist radicchio producers in the Veneto region of Italy, where traditional forcing techniques and precise timing ensure each head develops its characteristic rose-like form and perfect flavour balance.
Net: 200g (3/4 heads)
