Carbone Stewed Chicory in Oil - 1062 ml

Chicory, with its characteristic bitter flavour, has its roots since the Napoleonic era, when its root was used as a coffee substitute. Today, this plant is carefully cultivated in the fields of the Sele plain. We harvest the chicory when it is still tender, we braise it expertly and preserve it in fine olive oil, seasoning it with garlic and chilli pepper. This process makes it ready to be tasted and appreciated in its fullness of flavours. Chicory is a plant rich in vitamins, with important diuretic and purifying properties. It helps stimulate the correct functioning of the pancreas and liver, while proving to be a panacea for digestion. In the kitchen, chicory becomes a delicious side dish, ideal for sautéing in a pan. It's also a surprising ingredient for filling rustic pies and perfect for topping pizza, adding a touch of authentic Mediterranean flavor to every bite.
