Puntarelle crudaiola

The "Puntarelle" are the heart of the CATALONIAN CHICORY, a typical salad of our territory. We sow in October and harvest the vegetable between January and February. Our women defoliate the plant and manually cut the "scintuni", ie the shoots, gently put them in tanning to mature for a few days, then they are taken and stored in oil without adding flavorings or spices.

This preparation technique allows you to maintain the freshness and crunchiness of the vegetable unaltered. This product is a side dish with a very special taste, ideal for giving freshness and character to meat dishes, cheeses, fish tartare. It is a very little known plant in Italy, waiting to be discovered!
