Reading the bitterness
The 2022 EU Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) specification defines Radicchio di Verona as chicory of the species Cichorium intybus, derived from the Rossa di Verona variety, and covers both tipo precoce and tipo tardivo. The original text also uses Compositae, an old family name; here it is used as another name for Asteraceae.
This geographical indication specification defines both the early type (tipo precoce) and the late type (tipo tardivo), but the registration document consulted does not describe bitterness intensity or sensory characteristics specific to the early type. Defining type names and documenting taste differences by type are separate matters, and this entry records only what is stated in the document.
