Verdura fresca di stagione, il radicchio Rosa Di Gorizia, la varietà di radicchio rosso più pregiata e più costosa al mondo.

The Radicchio Rosa Di Gorizia.

Rosa di Gorizia is a very rare and valuable variety of red radicchio (Cichorium intybus), considered among the most expensive in the world. Grown exclusively in the Gorizia area, it is a Slow Food Presidium that stands out for its spectacular shape, identical to a newly bloomed rosebud. 
It has broad, deep red leaves with garnet hues. On the palate it is crunchy and offers a complex taste: a perfect balance between sweet notes and a delicate bitterness reminiscent of an artichoke.
It is a variety loved by gourmet haute cuisine. Traditionally, it is enjoyed raw to preserve its crunchiness, often accompanied by hard-boiled eggs, boiled potatoes, or seasoned with quality wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil.
