Treviso Red Radicchio Radicchiata by Nonno Andrea 300g

Summer harvested tomatoes and Taggiasca olives, combined with the unique spear shaped red leaves and crunchy stem of Red Raddichio, grown in Treviso since the 16th century. Rather like rhubarb, when grown in a dark environment the plant is deprived of chlorophyll, producing an intense red colour. Its bitter flavour pairs well with pasta and gnocchi dishes or in crepes.
