FLAVOUR IS A FRONTIER
Natoora Venetian Baby Radicchio
- Grumolo Baby Radicchio is a type of lightly bitter chicory native to Veneto,
northern Italy. Grown in open fields, it comes up in stunning, vividly coloured
rosettes.
- We source it direct from Antonello, a grower who has been saving his own seeds
for over forty years. He selects seeds from plants with a vivid colour palette
which intensifies as the season goes on.
- Antonello’s plants mature slowly in open fields, harvested only once the first
frost has fallen. This guarantees a concentrated, less bitter flavour.
- Once harvested, each head is individually pared back and shaped by hand,
losing its bitter outer leaves and leaving a delicate, tender heart.
- Grown without the use of chemical sprays or fertilisers, we source this during
its natural season of November to March.

in small scale, sustainable agriculture that gives back to our planet.
