Lollo Biondi, Each

Lollo Biondi Lettuce is a whole Lollo Biondi lettuce – the pale, tightly curled Italian lettuce with a delicate, mild flavour and a beautiful ruffled appearance. Lollo Biondi is the golden-green counterpart to the red Lollo Rosso. As a result, it makes a beautiful and versatile base for composed salads. Furthermore, the tightly curled leaves hold dressings particularly well. In particular, combined with Lollo Rosso it creates a visually striking two-tone salad that is a classic of Italian restaurant cooking.

About Lollo Biondi Lettuce

We source our vegetables and seasonal produce from specialist growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, condition and provenance. As a result, the produce we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise seasonal and heritage varieties over commodity produce. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or shelf life. However, they require more care and attention to grow. In particular, heritage and specialty vegetables often have shorter seasons and more demanding growing conditions. Additionally, we work with growers who share our commitment to quality. A short supply chain from grower to your door makes all the difference to freshness. That is why Lollo Biondi Lettuce from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Lollo Biondi Lettuce From Us

Cooking with genuinely seasonal and specialty produce transforms everyday dishes. In contrast to commodity vegetables, these varieties carry a depth of flavour that rewards simple treatment. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, freshness is everything with vegetables. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you cook with produce at its peak. However, even the finest vegetables need a little attention in the kitchen. In particular, most benefit from minimal cooking rather than long boiling. Moreover, good olive oil, sea salt and a little acidity — lemon juice or a splash of vinegar — bring out the best in almost everything. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you cook matters. That is why we choose these ingredients so carefully.

How to Cook Lollo Biondi Lettuce

To get the very best from Lollo Biondi Lettuce:

• Separate the leaves and rinse thoroughly – the tight curls trap soil and need careful washing.
• Use as a base for a simple dressed salad with a light vinaigrette or lemon dressing.
• Furthermore, Lollo Biondi makes an outstanding mixed leaf salad alongside Lollo Rosso and radicchio.
• Additionally, use as a bed for grilled fish, chicken or a warm protein where the curled leaves hold the juices.

Perfect Pairings

Lollo Biondi Lettuce pairs beautifully with:

• A light lemon vinaigrette, simple olive oil and sea salt for the most natural treatment
• Lollo Rosso alongside for the classic Italian two-tone salad combination
• A chilled glass of Vermentino, Soave or a light Pinot Grigio alongside
• Grilled chicken, tuna, anchovies or a simple soft-boiled egg alongside

Storage: Keep refrigerated and use within a few days of delivery. Most vegetables are best stored unwashed in the fridge. However, root vegetables and onions keep well in a cool, dark, dry place. Furthermore, use as soon as possible after delivery for the finest flavour. Delivered fresh and ready to prepare.

However you prepare it, Lollo Biondi Lettuce brings a depth of flavour and quality to the table that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, cooking with the finest seasonal produce is one of the great pleasures of the kitchen.
