Cavolo Nero

Territory

Closely associated with central Italian winter cookery, cavolo nero is valued for leaves that soften through long cooking while retaining a distinctive dark, mineral character.

How it behaves in the kitchen

Young leaves can be tender; mature leaves benefit from stripping the central rib and longer cooking. Its bitterness pairs naturally with beans, bread, olive oil and pork.
