California Crown Reserve Broccoli

Estate-Grown. Hand-Harvested. Unapologetically Verdant.

Introducing California Crown Reserve Broccoli, the apex expression of Brassica oleracea, cultivated in the fertile loam of California’s sun-drenched Central Coast. Each floret is a testament to agricultural precision and botanical reverence—locally sourced, ethically nurtured, and selected only at peak chlorophyll expression.

👃 Aromatic Profile:
On the nose, one is immediately greeted by a bouquet of dew-kissed earth, crushed kale stem, and faint whispers of alpine pine. Subtle hints of steamed artichoke heart emerge upon closer inspection, laced with a ghost note of petrichor—a rain-soaked field awakening after a summer slumber.

👅 Flavor Notes:
The palate opens with a bold vegetal thrust—steamed green essence, assertive yet refined. Mid-mouth reveals an umami-forward undertone evocative of roasted nori, followed by a buttery snap that speaks to meticulous blanching potential. The finish? Long, persistent, and provocatively cruciferous, lingering like a memory of spring mornings spent barefoot in the garden.

👁 Visual Identity:
Deep emerald florets cascade into tightly knit crowns—firm, statuesque, almost architectural in their geometry. Stalks are pale jade with a succulent, fibrous crispness, reminiscent of young asparagus caught in a moment of green glory.

🧠 Pairing Suggestions:
Best enjoyed with a grassy sauvignon blanc or an oaked chardonnay for balance. Pairs exceptionally with lemon zest confit, charred shallot butter, or a light truffle béchamel if you're feeling ambitious. Ideal for the discerning palate that demands more from their crucifers.
