About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

An old Italian variety from the lagoon of Chioggia whose charm lies in the cut surface: flesh ringed in red and white like a target. Shaved raw it keeps the rings best, which makes it your first choice for colourful carpaccio plates and salads. It is open pollinated and mild in flavour, without the strong earthy note of many dark varieties.

Strikingly sweet and mild, almost without bitterness. Cooking sadly fades the ringing; raw is where it shows at its best.
