Organic Castelfranco Radicchio

Creamy leaves flecked with burgundy, a delicate crunch, and pleasantly mild bitterness. Grown at Norwich Meadows Farm in Norwich, New York, and shipped nationwide.

Castelfranco is one of the most beautiful Italian radicchios, opening into a loose head of pale, speckled leaves. Its tender texture and comparatively gentle flavor make it an excellent introduction to chicories—and a distinctive addition to seasonal salads.

Enjoy it simply dressed with olive oil and lemon, or pair it with apples, pears, citrus, toasted nuts, and aged cheese. Its delicate bitterness brings balance to rich ingredients without overwhelming the dish.

What You Receive

Fresh, organic whole Castelfranco radicchio heads, ready for you to separate, wash, and prepare at home. Head size, leaf color, and burgundy markings vary naturally with the harvest. See the selected purchase option for quantity or weight.

How to Prepare Castelfranco

Trim the base and gently separate the leaves. Rinse in cold water and dry thoroughly. Leave smaller leaves whole or tear larger ones into generous pieces, then dress shortly before serving.

Start with a simple vinaigrette and taste as you go. Citrus, a little sweetness, and rich ingredients such as olive oil, nuts, or cheese complement its natural bitterness.

Ways to Enjoy

  • Build a seasonal salad with sliced pears, toasted walnuts, and shaved Parmigiano Reggiano.
  • Pair with orange segments, olives, and a lemon vinaigrette.
  • Combine with tender lettuce for a colorful salad with contrasting textures.
  • Serve alongside roasted potatoes, warm beans, or grilled fish.
  • Briefly wilt the leaves in olive oil for a warm side dish.

Storage

Keep refrigerated in a produce bag or container, protecting the delicate leaves from crushing. Wash and prepare shortly before use for the best texture.
