Endive 'Pancalieri a costa Rosata'

The 'Pancalieri a costa Rosata' endive is a remarkable Italian chicory, distinguished by its long, tender green leaves with thick, delicately pink ribs, forming an elegant and well-structured rosette. Its texture is firm and crisp, while its balanced, slightly bitter flavor becomes milder depending on the stage of harvest and culinary use. The vigorous foliage allows for regular harvests, promoting continuous and controlled production. This endive establishes easily in well-prepared soil and exhibits uniform growth, making it well-suited to careful cultivation. Prized as much for its flavor as for its visual appeal, it integrates naturally into structured vegetable gardens and sustainable market gardening projects.
