Olive Leaf Arugula 'A Foglia d'Ulivo' / 'Olivetta'

Product number: 242050
Origin: Mediterranean region
Latin: Diplotaxis tenuifolia

A celebrated Italian variety, known for its Tongue-tingling, very flavourful, aromatic "arugula experience"! Arugula has gradually become very popular; in Italy, this type is called Rucola selvatica. How quickly a vegetable can become popular! This beautiful Italian variety is (still) a rarity in the kitchen: in the quest for ever more deeply cut leaves, this is a contrary smooth-leaved type. This makes it a welcome eye-catcher once again! The leaves are long and narrow, so Italians quickly see an olive leaf in them.

Denominations:
Latin: Diplotaxis tenuifolia
Dutch: Olive Leaf Arugula
Also: Large Smooth-Leaved Salad Rocket
English: Wild Olive Leaved Rocket

Sowing method: Sow outdoors from March to September to ensure a continuous fresh harvest. They can tolerate some cold. Keep moist in summer to prevent premature bolting. Can be sown indoors year-round. This variety is also grown as microgreens (for the young plant with cotyledons or first true leaves). Microgreens are grown on moisture-retaining material (kitchen paper, cotton wool, soil). Keep dark and warm for germination, then light and cooler after germination.
