This end of September has been marked by the return of the Italian vegetables in Rungis. Product like purple round Aubergine, whole Chard, Lisbon onion and Cima di Rapa (Broccoli rabe) are absolutely stunning. We are impatient to get our first Datterino Tomato which should be coming in the following weeks.
Meanwhile we will be loading our last fine frizze from our farm in north of France as we are starting from the beginning of next week to get our first arrivals from our growers in the south.
Provence courgettes are lovely at the moment and new season round ones are arriving from Spain.
In the root section , the Jerusalem artichokes are going down in price each day, mixed colour carrot from Sarthe will be even better in a week as the grower changes to a new field and he will also be supplying his lovely (smaller) celeriac with leaf.
