Introducing the radicchio (Chicory rossa di treviso), a vibrant and slightly bitter member of the chicory family, easily recognised by its deep red leaves and crisp white veins.
Native to Italy, this leafy vegetable adds colour, crunch and complexity to both raw and cooked dishes.
When grilled, roasted or sautéed, its sharpness mellows, revealing a subtle sweetness and nutty depth. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins K, C and dietary fibre, radicchio not only brightens plates, but also supports good health.
It pairs beautifully with rich cheeses, citrus fruits, balsamic vinegar & olive oil, making it a versatile addition to seasonal menus.
Whether tossed through a salad or charred on the grill, radicchio brings a distinctive Italian flair to autumn and winter cooking.
We encourage you to try our ‘Chicory Fleece’ cocktail, a delicious blend of homemade radicchio syrup, gin, lemon and foaming bitters.
