Vegetable
Treviso
S tier
Treviso chicory grows elongated red leaves with white ribs—precoce (early field) and tardivo (forced, more sculptural) styles from the Veneto. Bitterness is elegant; shape suits whole-leaf grills and bundled market presentation. Tardivo’s fingered forced form is a winter luxury. Grill halves, pair with gorgonzola and walnuts, or raw with citrus. Distinguish early and late types if ordering for specific texture. Cool season quality is essential.
