VIOLET ARTICHOKES
Origin: Italy
Season: May. - July
These exquisite Violet Artichokes are prized Italian delicacies, harvested at peak ripeness to capture their distinctive nutty flavour and tender hearts. Grown in the fertile soils of Italy where artichoke cultivation has been perfected over centuries, these violet-hued gems offer a more delicate taste and texture than their green counterparts, with subtle floral notes and less astringency.
These violet artichokes are prized for their tender hearts, sweet flavour profile and stunning purple appearance. Cultivated using traditional methods that respect seasonal growing cycles, they're harvested young to ensure optimal tenderness and flavour. Each artichoke is carefully selected for its quality, size and vibrant violet hue, preserving the authentic characteristics that make Italian artichokes world-renowned.
Preparation: Trim the stems and remove tough outer leaves. Cut in half and remove the fuzzy choke. Simmer in lemon water until tender (20-25 minutes), or steam until a knife easily pierces the heart. Serve warm with melted butter, olive oil and sea salt, or chilled with vinaigrette. Perfect for risottos, pastas or simply enjoyed on antipasti platters.
