Turnip Greens in Oil, Apulian Style

“The most Apulian flavour there is, ready in a jar.”

The flower shoots of the turnip plant, picked while still green, before they bloom, and preserved in extra virgin olive oil with Mediterranean herbs.

Picked while still green In extra virgin olive oil 300 g jar

Turnip tops — *cime di rapa*, also known as turnip greens or broccoli rabe — are the signature ingredient of traditional Apulian cooking. Their taste is one of a kind: slightly bitter and herbaceous, and sweet at the same time, and that balance is what makes them so versatile. With handmade orecchiette they make the dish that, more than any other, stands for Puglia around the world.

These turnip greens in oil, Apulian style, are packed in extra virgin olive oil with Mediterranean herbs. A simple product with a firm, full-bodied texture, to enjoy just as it is or to use creatively in the kitchen.

The product

What are turnip tops?

Turnip tops are the flower shoots of the turnip plant. Left to bloom, they turn a bright yellow and colour the Apulian fields while the air is still cold, like an early taste of spring.

In Puglia, though, they are picked before they turn yellow, while they are still green, one by one: that is when they have the right flavour. In the kitchen they are a bit like the region's «parsley»: much loved, and used everywhere.
