Puntarelle alla crudaiola 230 g

As crisp and fresh as if they had just been picked, because they are kept raw: for our puntarelle alla crudaiola we choose the tenderest sprouts of Catalogna chicory, a native variety of Salento, in particular of the Galatina area in the province of Lecce.

The entire process is done by hand, from the removal of the outer leaves to the cutting of the sprouts, which we leave to ripen for a few days in a delicate sweet-and-sour dressing. At the end of this step, the sprouts or ‘scattuni’, as we call them in dialect, are potted in oil, without the addition of flavourings, spices or artificial preservatives. In this way, our puntarelle alla crudaiola retain their natural flavour and the vitamins and fibre they are rich in. Try them in pucce and pinse, but also in a salad or as a side dish for a tartare.
