| Trivia | In the post-war period in Campania, this plant was completely forgotten. Fortunately, since 2004, the Agriculture and Production Activity Department of Campania has been promoting a recovering and genetic stabilization of torzella, thanks to the “Recovering and Enhancement Program of horticultural geno-plasma of Campania”, and entrusting it to the Applied Research Agricultural Consortium. The consumption of this vegetable is mainly connected to a traditional, ancient recipe: the “menesta maretata”, which linked (or “married”, according to the Neapolitan word), a rich mixed meat broth to several vegetables, as the poet Giovan Battista del Tufo wrote in his work “Il Ritratto o modello delle grandezze, delizie e meraviglie della nobilissima città di Napoli’’ – in 1590. |
