Broccolo Fiolaro (Brassica oleracea var. Italica) organic

At first glance this plant's large head of curly leaves is less reminiscent of broccoli than that other Italian leaf vegetable Puntarelle. In flavour terms its sweetish, aromatic taste is quite different from other brassicas. In the local cuisine these loosely arranged young leaves are traditionally combined with potatoes, onions and rice in a very thick, almost risotto-like soup - similar in consistency to the Tuscan speciality Ribollita, made with Cavolo Nero. On cold winter days it's a real treat, warming body and soul.
