Parco Nazionale dell'Appennino Lucano
Val d'Agri - Lagonegrese

Once known as the truffle of the poor, the horseradish is a root vegetable harvested on the hills in the Lucan inlands. It should be eaten in February for one to appreciate its full richness, penetrating and strong fragrance and elaborated flavour with sweet and strongly balsamic hints, which alleviate its characteristic spiciness. The palate is not the unique asset of this vegetable, it also has a high level of healty substances.
