Neapolitanum

Herb

Neapolitanum

B tier

Neapolitanum (often listed as Petroselinum crispum var. neapolitanum) is the flat-leaf botanical group behind Italian parsley—broad leaflets, strong aroma, and cooking-first use. Seed packets use the name to promise non-curled culinary type. Treat as Italian flat-leaf in the kitchen: chop into sauces, salads, and finish dishes. Stems belong in mirepoix and stock.

History

IT

Neapolitan and southern Italian gardens fixed broad flat-leaf parsley types.

Botanical variety names separated neapolitanum flat-leaf from crispum curled groups.

Seed science used neapolitanum to specify culinary flat parsley in trials.

Heirloom and pro seed still list neapolitanum for Italian flat-leaf crops.
