Artichokes with Stem in Crudaiola Sauce - 520g Jar - Artisanal Artichokes

Elevate your dining experience with the centerpiece of the Sicilian garden: Lifeitaly Artichokes with Stem in Crudaiola Sauce. Unlike standard hearts, these premium artichokes are harvested with their tender, flavorful stems intact, offering an elegant presentation and a superior texture. Each artichoke is carefully hand-trimmed and preserved using the "Crudaiola" method—a traditional Italian technique that uses a light, herb-infused dressing to maintain the vegetable’s natural crunch and vibrant, fresh-picked flavor.

The Lifeitaly Crudaiola sauce is a masterclass in balance, blending high-quality oil with aromatic Mediterranean herbs, garlic, and a hint of vinegar. This process ensures the artichokes remain succulent and "raw-tasting" (crudo) rather than over-processed. Housed in a generous 520g jar, these artichokes are not just a side dish; they are a gourmet statement, bringing the artisanal heritage of Sicily to your table.
