Place
Puglia sits at the heel of Italy, where the land runs flat and the summers are long, hot, and dry.
The soil is thin limestone, and the grow season stretches from late winter through spring.
Artichokes here grow large in the warmth, fed by cool-winter rains and dried under months of summer heat.

Process
The artichokes are cut young, while the leaves are still tender, then bottled whole in sunflower seed oil and extra virgin olive oil with parsley, garlic, chili pepper, and wine vinegar.
Sixty-five percent of the jar is artichoke.
No heat treatment, no artificial preservatives.

People
We work with the family in Puglia that grows the artichokes and bottles them on the same property.
They have worked this land for generations, and the jar we ship is the jar they fill.
We visit each year to select from the season's batch.

How to use it

Pull from the jar and serve over burrata or fresh ricotta.
Fold into pasta or toss with arugula.
The spiced oil left in the jar works as a dressing. Don't discard it.

The oil stays good for a week after the artichokes are gone. We use it for bread.

Questions

  • How long does it keep once opened?
    Keep the artichokes submerged in the oil and refrigerate after opening. They hold well for 3-4 weeks.
  • Does it need to be refrigerated before opening?
    No. Store unopened in a cool, dry place. Once opened, refrigerate and keep the artichokes submerged.
  • What do I do with the oil left in the jar?
    Use it as a dressing. It picks up the parsley, garlic, chili, and vinegar from the artichokes. Good on salad or with bread.
  • Are they tender or firm?
    Tender. They are cut young, while the leaves are still soft, then bottled without heat treatment. The texture holds without being mushy.
  • Are they spicy?
    Mildly. There is chili pepper in the jar. The heat is a background note, not the dominant flavor.
  • Is it vegan?
    Yes. Artichokes, sunflower seed oil, extra virgin olive oil, parsley, chili, garlic, wine vinegar, salt.
