Product Description

The Cavolfiore Verde di Macerata, or Green Cauliflower of Macerata, is an Italian cauliflower variety with a distinctive, vibrant green color. The Barese selection of this variety is especially known for its compact head of densely packed curds with a creamy texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor. Its leaves are broad, providing protection to the head while enhancing its color and taste. This cool-weather plant is often harvested in late autumn, prized for its nutritional richness and adaptability. It’s an ideal ingredient for both raw and cooked dishes, especially popular in traditional Italian cuisine.
