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 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.

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.
