Variety description

10 August 2026

The De Ruffec variety belongs to the group of frisée endives (Cichorium endivia var. crispa). The plant forms a large rosette of intensely green leaves with strong curling and a deeply incised shape, reaching 30-45 cm in length.

The plant forms a loose head, with the inner leaves acquiring a creamy-white or pale yellow color after the blanching procedure. The leaves possess a characteristic slightly bitter taste and fleshy central veins.

The variety is hardy and resistant to weather fluctuations, cold, and humidity, withstanding frosts down to -7°C. Thanks to these qualities, it is recommended for harvest in the autumn and winter periods.
