With its curly, dark green leaves, organic cavolo nero is also called ‘Italian kale’ from time to time, for obvious reasons. Cavolo Nero originates from Tuscany but is now grown in the UK and many other countries in Europe. Our cavolo nero is of the slightly sweeter variety, and has a real texture about it. Incredibly versatile, it can be boiled, stir-fried, steamed, or with a little dressing drizzled over it, you can eat it raw too.
