About this variety
A traditional Italian type of broccoli sown in summer and harvested in autumn and winter. Broccoli Fiolaro di Creazzo has been cultivated for many centuries in Italy and is on the Slow Food Ark of Taste list which is a living catalogue of delicious and distinctive foods facing extinction. It is sown in July through to early September and harvested November to March. It does not grow a large central head, but produces side shoots - "fiois" - from its stem which are harvested and cooked with the leaves - not too dissimilar to Kalettes.
