Treviso salad

530031

The Treviso salad (Radicchio Rosso di Treviso), selected by Le Delas, is a prestigious variety of Italian chicory, prized for its striking appearance and colour palette ranging from deep purple-red to creamy white. Its long, firm and crisp leaves lend a refined bitterness and an elegant texture to culinary creations. This product is a prime choice for chefs wishing to add a touch of character and visual sophistication to their starters. Professional uses, preparation and storage: ► Cold dishes and contrasts: Its characteristic bitter flavour balances perfectly with sweet or acidic ingredients, such as citrus segments, walnut pieces or a balsamic vinegar reduction. It is ideal for adding structure to high-end mixed salads. ► Hot applications: Unlike many lettuces, Treviso withstands heat very well. It can be braised, grilled on a hotplate or roasted in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil, which softens its bitterness and brings out sweeter notes. ► Preparation: For the best presentation, it is advisable to use it leaf by leaf to create volume, or to slice it into thin strips to add its crunch to a risotto or pasta dish at the end of cooking. ► Storage: Store in a positive-temperature cold room. Its robust structure means it holds up better than tender lettuces, but it is best kept in a humid environment to preserve the crunch of its ribs. Location in store: Atelier Fruits Legumes
