Violet artichoke hearts - Secrets of Sicily

  • How Segreti di Sicilia artichoke hearts are produced

    Violet artichoke hearts are a simple and traditional recipe with a delicate but full flavour. The artichokes are cooked according to our grandparents' recipe but using innovative and healthy processing methods that keep all the nutrients of the fresh product unchanged. In practice, they are first blanched in water and vinegar, then seasoned with salt, oregano, mint and chilli pepper and then covered with Frantoi Cutrera extra virgin olive oil, Biancolilla variety. Violet artichoke hearts have a light green color, light aromatic notes of mint and vinegar and a firm and fleshy consistency.

  • The origin and quality of ingredients and processing

    Our Segreti di Sicilia line of preserves was born from the love for this land and its traditions, from the scents of our childhood, from our grandmother's secrets and from the rediscovery of an authentic and genuine past. Each product speaks of a specific territory, of a biodiversity that the world envies us. We choose each of them from our own crops or from our network, small and local productions and farmers who work the land with the same passion and respect as in the past. These genuine products are then transformed in our modern canning plant with the help of latest generation machinery. We use innovative cooking and processing techniques that guarantee absolute respect for the original recipe and, at the same time, the preservation of all the organoleptic characteristics of the fresh product and its main nutritional aspects. The absence of preservatives and colorings allows you to taste a genuine product.

Further Information

The purple artichoke, the native Sicilian variety, has excellent nutritional properties: it is digestive, diuretic and rich in potassium and vitamins. These artichokes are seasoned and preserved rigorously with the best Frantoi Cutrera extra virgin olive oil which, taking on the flavor of the ingredient, can be reused as an original condiment for bruschetta, first and second courses.

The consistency of Segreti di Sicilia Artichoke Hearts is firm and meaty and the flavor of the artichoke is well balanced. This allows various uses in the kitchen but we recommend consuming it naturally, without further processing. The intense flavor of the artichoke hearts, due to the seasoning with typical Sicilian aromas and the preservation in extra virgin olive oil, already makes them special. They can accompany a platter of cheeses, cured meats and olives, gourmet bruschetta or original salads and sandwiches. The preservation oil is the prized Frantoi Cutrera extra virgin olive oil, Biancolilla variety, with aromatic notes of artichoke, and can be reused as an aromatic condiment for other bruschettas, for salads or simply on bread.

There are many Sicilian recipes for artichokes in oil, we have chosen the family one, the recipe kept by our grandparents. The scent of mint and oregano, typical Sicilian aromas, and the spiciness of chilli pepper are an unmistakable touch. Blanching in vinegar gives a particular intensity to the recipe.

For our artichoke hearts we only use Sicilian "Violetto" artichokes, a typical variety grown in various areas of the island and in particular in the south-eastern ones. To these we add, during processing, Frantoi Cutrera extra virgin olive oil (Biancolilla variety) and typical aromatic herbs that go well with the artichoke, i.e. oregano, spicy chilli pepper and mint.
