A much-loved heritage variety, ‘Nero di Toscana’ kale is prized for its dark, textured leaves, rich flavour and exceptional hardiness. Selected by River Cottage, it’s a reliable and productive crop for year-round harvesting.
 
Also known as Tuscan kale or cavolo nero, this striking variety produces long, deeply savoyed leaves with a distinctive blue-green colour. The flavour improves after exposure to frost, becoming sweeter and more tender as the season progresses.
 
Easy to grow and highly resilient, ‘Nero di Toscana’ thrives in a range of conditions and provides a steady supply of nutritious greens from late summer through winter.
