If you would like to try baked radicchio, cut the radicchio into quarters and drizzle with Mia Emilia’s Marini Giuseppe Toscano Extra Virgin Olive Oil IGP.  Bake it until it’s tender and browned on top.  If you want to add a special touch, top with Mia Emilia’s Balsamic Vinegar of Modena Quercia Argento IGP.  Serve with your favorite Italian cheese, and a few drops of the Balsamic on each slice.
