Solanum melongena ‘Listada de Gandia’
If Rosa Bianca whispers, Listada de Gandia flirts loudly across the piazza.
This classic Spanish heirloom produces lavender-purple fruit streaked with creamy white stripes, thin skin, and surprisingly sweet, mild flesh with very little bitterness.
It looks dramatic.
It cooks beautifully.
And yes — it actually tastes as good as it looks.
This is the eggplant that convinces skeptics.
👅 Flavor Profile:
• Mild, gently sweet 🍯
• Very low bitterness (especially when young)
• Clean, nutty undertones 🌰
• Creamy, tender texture when cooked 🧈
Think: eggplant that behaves and still has personality.
🍴 Culinary Uses:
🔥 Grill thick slices — stripes caramelize beautifully
🍆 Perfect for caponata and ratatouille
🥘 Roast whole or cubed with olive oil + herbs
🍝 Dice into pasta sauces without overpowering
🥗 Sauté for warm Mediterranean salads
🧄 Excellent for spreads and purées
Chef trick: grill hot, finish with olive oil, sherry vinegar, and oregano. Looks like art, tastes like summer.
👨🍳 Chef’s Pitch:
Listada de Gandia is visual impact without bitterness.
It plates like a showpiece but eats like a comfort vegetable — mild, creamy, and cooperative.
A favorite in Spanish and Mediterranean cooking where olive oil, tomato, and herbs do the heavy lifting.
Pairs beautifully with garlic, tomato, basil, oregano, anchovy, capers, lamb, pork, and seafood.
This is eggplant that earns its stripes.
