Puntarelle alla Crudaiola I Contadini 520g

The Farmers is a family-owned farm, in its third generation, operating in the region of Puglia, one of the most vocated areas for growing high-quality vegetables. Thanks to their experience and attention to local traditions, I Contadini produce Puntarelle alla Crudaiola by carefully selecting Catalogna chicory shoots and processing them without the addition of preservatives.

The "Puntarelle" are the heart of the traditional Catalogna chicory salad, typical of the Puglia region. Transplanting takes place in October, while harvesting takes place in January and February. Our expert farmers manually remove the outer leaves and carefully cut the delicate shoots, called "scattuni." These are then left to ripen for a few days in brine, before being preserved in oil, without the addition of flavorings or spices.
