PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Puglian-Style Turnip Greens in Oil – A Taste of Salento Tradition

Extra virgin olive oil, chilli pepper and a touch of garlic: the traditional Puglian recipe for turnip greens needs no frills. Just a few simple, authentic ingredients – the very same ones you’ll find in this jar. Simply open, heat in a pan for a few minutes, and the perfect sauce for orecchiette pasta is ready. Their bold, distinctive flavour also makes them irresistible on slices of warm toasted bread or served as a rustic appetiser.

Our turnip greens preserved in oil come from the countryside around Galatina, in the heart of Salento, where we grow a local native variety following time-honoured farming traditions. We sow in October, when the soil begins to feel the cool autumn air, and patiently wait for winter. Nature takes its course, and we simply work alongside it, without forcing its rhythms.

Harvesting takes place between February and March and is a slow, meticulous process. We return to the same plant several times, carefully observing it and selecting only the most tender, young shoots with their intense green colour. There is no indiscriminate harvesting: every shoot is hand-picked, one by one, at exactly the right moment, when it is at its very best.

Immediately after harvesting, the turnip greens are lightly blanched, processed while fresh and packed in oil, with no artificial preservatives added. The entire process is carried out by hand, just as we learned in our grandmothers’ kitchens, where time was an essential ingredient and quality was never open to compromise.

The result is a product that tells the story of the most authentic Puglia: intense, genuine and deeply connected to the land it comes from.

A jar of Puglian-style turnip greens filled with the aromas of tradition, the seasons and Salento.

Vegetable-based preparation.

Ingredients: turnip greens (65%), sunflower oil, extra virgin olive oil, hot chilli pepper, whole sea salt, garlic, lemon juice.

We searched online for gourmet peeled tomatoes and came across this iContadini website. What can I say… EXCELLENT products! Delicious and full of flavor. Everything was packed in individual boxes for each product, carefully wrapped and presented in elegant, modern packaging. The products are excellent, and the price is even better! It’s a pity that the chili peppers were not available when I placed my order. I’ll definitely try to purchase them next time. I highly recommend them and will buy again.

The best Christmas package I have ever received. All the products are delicious and of superior quality; you can immediately feel the care and attention put into the selection. I highly recommend it, also for the stunning packaging and the wide variety. An elegant gift idea that is truly appreciated: five stars.

High-quality products and excellent value for money. I recommend everyone to buy typical products here rather than in shops or markets located in tourist areas. The tarallo is without a doubt the best I have ever tasted. The location is beautiful and well maintained.

Exceptional products of the highest quality. I have been buying them in-store for years, but after discovering the e-shop, I preferred to place an order through the website to choose from the full catalog. Fast shipping and top customer service: very kind, courteous, and immediate responses. Italian regional specialties that I recommend to everyone!

We have been buying from them for years now, either by stopping directly in Ugento when we come to Puglia or via their online shop. For us, they are a go-to for Apulian specialties: pasta, preserves, vegetables in oil, pâtés and pestos… we can’t live without them anymore! Excellent quality! Super kind when we visit the shop and fast and accurate with deliveries for online purchases (products are extremely well packaged!!). So happy to have discovered you 10 years ago!! 👍👍 Give them a try—you won’t regret it!

We discovered this website by chance years ago and have never left it since; everything I buy from them is of excellent quality, and we’ve also made a great impression thanks to you when giving your products as gifts to friends and acquaintances. The website is very easy to use for online orders, and the packaging is very carefully done and well prepared, especially considering the long journey it has to make every time I order. Giorgia is very courteous, kind, and always available to answer any of my requests. 5 stars, more than deserved. A hug from Chiara in Trieste.

I placed an online order on their shop. Everything arrived well packaged with great care taken to prevent the jars from breaking during transport. Excellent products!! The rustic sliced eggplants, the dried long tomatoes, and the “battuto alla contadina” are absolutely amazing 🤩 Well done!! Highly recommended.
