Lampascioni - 230g Jar - Wild Muscari Bulbs in Oil

Step into the world of authentic Italian rarities with Lifeitaly Lampascioni. Often called "the wild onions of the sun," Lampascioni are actually the bulbs of the Muscari comosum flower, a true delicacy deeply rooted in the rural traditions of Puglia and Sicily. These wild bulbs are painstakingly harvested by hand from the rocky Mediterranean soil, a process that requires patience and expertise.

To prepare this specialty, Lifeitaly follows a traditional artisanal method: the bulbs are cleaned, scored at the base to ensure even cooking, and blanched to temper their natural bitterness. Preserved in high-quality oil and seasoned with a touch of vinegar and local herbs, they offer a sophisticated flavor profile—pleasantly bitter, slightly sweet, and earthy, with a crisp, firm texture. This 230g jar brings a taste of the wild, untamed Italian landscape to your gourmet collection.
