Curtis and escarole reach their highest quality through the practice of blanching, which is achieved by tying the fully formed, dry heads and waiting 7-15 days without watering above the canopy.

This way, the heart whitens and becomes tender and delicious.

The inner leaves are excellent in mixed salads with radicchio and lettuces; the outer leaves can be eaten cooked.
