The original Tuscan black kale. Long, dark, crinkled leaves. Sweeter after frost. Essential for the winter kitchen.
Flavour
Nero di Toscana offers a sweet, earthy flavour that intensifies after a frost, with a mild bitterness balanced by a subtle nutty undertone.
In the kitchen
Ideal for grilling or slow-roasting over fire, its sturdy leaves hold up well to smoke and heat, making it perfect for charred kale salads or smoky braises.
Growing
Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with consistent moisture; hardy and frost-tolerant, it thrives in cooler months and benefits from spacing to allow good air circulation.
