Australian Grown Tuscan Kale

(Cavolo Nero) – Fresh Gourmet Bunch

Elevate your menu and retail line-up with our Australian grown Tuscan kale (Cavolo Nero) — a premium bunch of dark, crinkled leaves that deliver serious flavour, texture and versatility. Sourced locally to meet the standards of boutique retailers and food-service kitchens, this leafy green is an easy hero on any plate.

Why you’ll love it:

Distinctive texture and flavour – Unlike ordinary kale, cavolo nero features long, narrow, deeply ridged leaves with a rich, slightly sweet-earthy taste. 

Culinary chameleon – Ideal for light sautéing, stirring into grain bowls, tossing raw in salads, or as the star in hearty soups like the traditional Tuscan ribollita. 

Nutrition plus provenance – A member of the brassica family famed for its vitamins and antioxidants, this kale brings serious value to health-conscious menus. 

Boutique quality meets practicality – Bunched for convenience, this produce item aligns with your brand’s focus on Australian-grown, retail-ready, premium ingredients.

Serving Suggestions:

Sauté leaves with garlic, chilli flakes and olive oil; finish with lemon for a crisp side.

Rough-chop and mix into a warm grain salad with roasted pumpkin, feta and toasted pine nuts.

Use in a winter vegetable soup (think white bean and kale) where its structure holds up beautifully.

Massage raw leaves with a splash of olive oil and lemon, then add shaved parmesan and walnuts for a quick gourmet salad.

Storage & Preparation Tips:
Keep the bunch loosely wrapped and refrigerated, unwashed until ready to use. For raw or lightly cooked use, roughly tear or chop the leaves from the stem and rinse under cool water. When cooking, aim for vibrant green colour and tender-but-textured bite; avoid over-cooking to preserve flavour and nutrients.
