Endive Wallonne, scientifically known as Cichorium endivia, is a robust variety of curly endive characterized by its narrow, frisée-type leaves. This classic Belgian cultivar is particularly valued for its cold tolerance, making it suitable for late summer, autumn, and winter production. It thrives in partial shade and can resist early frost, which allows for extended harvesting periods. The flavor profile of Endive Wallonne is slightly bitter, typical of many endive varieties, but this bitterness can be mitigated through blanching techniques. It is primarily enjoyed raw in salads, often paired with ingredients like walnuts, oranges, and blue cheese. However, it can also be cooked; common methods include boiling or sautéing with garlic and olive oil.
