Product Features

More Information
Description	Violetto variety artichokes grown, processed and packaged in Puglia and preserved in oil
Appearance	Artichokes left whole with their stems and preserved in oil
Taste	Crunchy on the palate, with the characteristic herbaceous aroma of artichoke, the acetic sensations are very delicate
Curiosity	Edoardo Trentin from I Contadini explains that an artichoke plant grows in the same field for three years, but only reaches full production in the last two years. After this period, the field is used for another type of crop suitable for the location of the plot, or even left uncultivated (green manure). Artichokes are rich in minerals such as phosphorus and zinc, B vitamins and fibre
Our selection	These artichokes belong to the native Violetto variety. The first artichokes are harvested with the whole stem. Processing, which takes place within eight hours from harvesting, consists of initial defoliation and manual cleaning with a small knife and a paring knife. The artichoke is then lightly blanched and immediately jarred in oil
Suggestions	Perfect for delicious appetisers, but also for topping pizzas or sautéing in a pan to enrich a hot dish

I Contadini - Ugento (LE) - Apulia

Why we chose them

"I Contadini " farm, run today by the third generation, has been founded in one of the most suitable areas for the cultivation of vegetables, in Apulia, more exactly in Salento, the so-called "land of sun, sea and wind". The fantastic climate of this land, warmed by sun all over the year, together with fertile ground structure and positive sea influence, is perfect to obtain excellent tomatoes and all kind of vegetables. An "integrated production" technique is applied to cultivate more than 20 hectares of open fields vegetables: long tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, eggplants, courgettes, sweet and hot peppers, artichokes. Vegetables are naturally dried up by the sun of Salento, so that all the water in excess is taken away and the product is preserved in its organoleptic and nutritive qualities. Drying vegetables in the sun is a very ancient art, today almost totally abandoned; even though difficult and delicate, it allows to obtain an absolute unique organoleptic result: softness of pulp, preservation of vitamins, proteins and mineral salts, and a special harmonic flavour which is by far more recognizable. Short production chain and short label: Edoardo Trentin, with his brothers, takes care of the all process, from cultivation to packaging in olive oil, without preservatives
