The I Contadini Raw Puntarelle 230g is a traditional Italian vegetable preparation made in Apulia by I Contadini, featuring fresh puntarelle (a type of chicory from the Catalonian chicory family) preserved in a lightly seasoned, ready to use form. Known for its crisp texture and pleasantly bitter, refreshing flavour, puntarelle is a classic ingredient in Roman and southern Italian cuisine, often served as a salad or antipasto.

In this raw-style preparation, the shoots are carefully cleaned and preserved to maintain their natural crunch and distinctive flavour profile. Typically stored in a light brine or dressing, the result is a product that can be served immediately often dressed further with olive oil, garlic, and vinegar for a traditional salad, or used as a garnish for seafood and meat dishes.
