Carmine
Carmine comes from natural cross-breeding of 3 types of chicory, through bees or flowers from the male parent rubbed on flowers from the female parent. The 3 types are Witloof chicory, Chioggia chicory and Verona chicory. Carmine stands apart from other endives due to its carmine red colour, its round shape and its mild, special taste, often compared to the taste of hazelnut. Carmine endives bring a touch of colour and modernity to our dinner plates. Carmine is always served and used raw.
