Sedano Bianco di Sperlonga PGI is celery of the local Bianco di Sperlonga ecotype grown in the municipalities of Fondi and Sperlonga.
Sperlonga celery has a place beyond the raw vegetable plate.
ARSIAL’s swordfish recipe starts with chopped celery, onion and garlic in olive oil, then adds local tomatoes and white wine before the fish. Its gently aromatic ribs contribute to the pan’s base.
Growers and nurseries select seed from their best plants. The published method calls for hand harvesting and careful placement in containers to avoid damage to the ribs.
Cultivation developed on the coastal land known as pantani, where the water table lies close to the surface, between reclaimed ground and the sea.
LazioServe thinly sliced ribs in a salad with carrots, or put them at the center of a vegetable plate. Their pale color is a characteristic of the local ecotype.
