Red Oak Leaf

Lactuca sativa var. crispa

Red Oak Leaf gives you the colour of Lollo Rosso in a softer leaf. The lobes are rounded and the bronze runs further down the blade, so a torn handful reads red rather than red-tipped.

It bruises more easily than the frilled varieties, which is why we pack it loose and cold rather than pressed. Handled gently it is the most striking leaf in the range.
