Tardivo is a late harvest variety of Treviso known for its bright white stalks and garnet-tipped, ribbed leaves that curl inward at their tops. Though very bold-looking, Tardivo is actually very mild, almost sweet, and makes a stunning presentation in salads and as a garnish. Tardivo is often grilled, dipped in beer batter and fried, added to risotto or baked with noodles and cream, al forno style.
