Italian eggplant, picked at the peak of the harvest is sliced, grilled until golden brown then lightly seasoned with oil, garlic and parsley. This artisanal method is the preferred preparation to retain the natural flavor and texture of the eggplant. Unlike most other packaged varieties, MENU's Grilled Eggplant is absent of vinegar ensuring the fresh picked eggplant taste for both hot or cold preparation.
