Description

Wild Rocket 500g is 500g of wild rocket – the small-leafed, intensely peppery variety that bears little resemblance to the mild, cultivated rocket found in supermarket bags. Wild rocket has a fierce, concentrated peppery heat and a deep, complex bitterness. As a result, it transforms any salad from pleasant to genuinely exciting. Furthermore, a little goes a very long way – wild rocket dominates any dish it appears in. In particular, it is the rocket used on a genuine pizza rucola in Naples.

About Wild Rocket 500g

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 Wild Rocket 500g from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Wild Rocket 500g 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 Wild Rocket 500g

To get the very best from Wild Rocket 500g:

  • Use in small quantities – wild rocket is powerful and a little transforms a large salad.
  • Pile generously onto a freshly baked pizza with Parmesan shavings and good olive oil.
  • Furthermore, wild rocket makes a pesto of outstanding intensity – blend with pine nuts, Parmesan, olive oil and lemon.
  • Additionally, use as a salad base for a warm goats cheese or a carpaccio of beef where the pepper is a foil.

Perfect Pairings

Wild Rocket 500g pairs beautifully with:

  • Parmesan shavings and good olive oil – the most natural and satisfying combination
  • Pizza bianca or a good simple flatbread fresh from the oven
  • A chilled Soave, Vermentino or a crisp Pinot Grigio alongside
  • Beef carpaccio, roasted beets or smoked fish as main plate partners

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, Wild Rocket 500g 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.
