How processing and cooking change it (1)

Radicchio Rosso di Treviso precoce is processed by radicchio legatura (leaf-tying)supported

Scope: The precoce process in the Italian original disciplinare (Articolo 5).

Note: Unlike the tardivo forcing and blanching by water immersion, precoce is blanched by tying (legatura) in the field to inhibit photosynthesis. The existing English EU Official Journal summary does not state the distinction between process names; this distinction was newly confirmed in the Italian provision.

"In questa fase i cespi, in pieno campo, vengono legati al fine di inibire il normale processo di fotosintesi, per il tempo necessario al raggiungimento del giusto grado di maturazione" (verbatim). Precoce undergoes the field tying process 『legatura』 (in translation: "tying") to inhibit photosynthesis.
Limitations: It is a separate process from tardivo water immersion and should not be generalized or confused with it.
