Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the group of broad-leaved endives of the Gigante degli ortolani type, characterized by large size and vigorous development of the leaf rosette. The plants possess sufficient plasticity for cultivation in various seasons, primarily in late spring and autumn periods.

The produce is intended for use in salad mixes or as a standalone product. The leaves have a structure that allows for the blanching procedure by tying the rosette, which contributes to reducing bitterness and obtaining a more tender texture.

The maturity period of the variety is classified as medium. The plant is oriented toward the professional fresh vegetable market.
