Celebrate National Cheese Lover's Day January 20, 2011

MONTEREY, CA  (January 1, 2010)  Royal Rose Radicchio of Salinas, Calif. is celebrating National Cheese Lover’s Day (held every January 20th) with radicchio recipes and pairing suggestions.

Nothing compliments the complexity of this Italian chicory better than a rich cheese; like spaghetti and meatballs, radicchio and cheese belong together. Great chefs have long known that we begin the dining experience first with our eyes, and radicchio holds great visual appeal, with its vibrant, wine-colored leaves that brighten any dish. Then comes mouth-feel, and few foods can match this versatile vegetable’s texture that lends a cool, refreshing crispness to the plate.
