SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Artichoke Hearts: they are an essential ingredient in salads, pizzas and savoury tarts or on their own as an aperitif… One of the peculiarities of the artichokes is that they enhance the sweetness of food.
Artichoke Hearts Paste: as an aperitif, it makes an ideal topping on Italian "crostini", crunchy slices of toasted bread. It can also be served with pasta or added to delicious vegetable soups such as minestrone.
CHARACTERISTICS
Artichoke Hearts are hand prepared, we only use the inner part of them. They are picked at full ripening between March and May. They are scalded for a few minutes, and after getting rid of the external leaves and the top part of them, the artichoke hearts are pickled to be preserved, then seasoned with salt and vinegar and patiently hand covered up with Carli olive oil. They are an excellent appetizer, they perfectly match your salads, tasty onto your pizzas, or even as a side dish to any of your second courses.
Our
Artichoke Hearts Paste is made from very young artichoke hearts that have been meticulously chosen for their freshness and flavour. They are reduced into a creamy paste flavoured with olive oil, then a touch of vinegar and garlic is added. Its delicate flavour, mild taste and delicious smoothness make our Carli artichoke paste a sophisticated product of the Italian gastronomy.
