Chicory 'Rossa di Treviso' (Cichorium intybus 'Rossa di Treviso') is a traditional Italian heirloom variety known for its striking deep red leaves with white veins and crisp texture. Resembling a slender romaine lettuce, it has a mildly bitter flavor that mellows with cool weather. Best grown in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, it matures in late summer to autumn. Ideal for salads, grilling, or braising, ‘Rossa di Treviso’ adds vibrant color and unique flavor to seasonal dishes.
