Origin
Lollo Rosso lettuce is native to Italy. Today, it is also cultivated in France, the Netherlands and the Federal Republic of Germany. Lollo Rosso is available on the market all year round. Our domestic harvest from May to December is supported in the other months by imports from Italy, France and the Netherlands.

The crunchy lollo rosso is usually eaten raw as a salad. Mixed salads in particular are spiced up by its red colouring. Its curly leaves are also very suitable for decorative garnishing.
