These whole artichokes, grilled with their stems, are an Italian antipasto delicacy, made from fresh artichokes and preserved in sunflower oil. What makes them particularly delicious is that the artichoke's refined, herbaceous flavor acquires a light smoky note from grilling.

The product comes from Campania, Southern Italy, where Casa Marrazzo produces preserved vegetables in the traditional Southern Italian way. The artichokes are processed fresh, grilled, and preserved in oil to maintain their texture and flavor as appealing as possible.

The texture is succulent yet firm, and the flavor is elegantly herbaceous, slightly smoky, and pleasantly mellow. Serve as an antipasto on its own, with burrata or pecorino, or add to salads and breads; a dry white wine like Vermentino or a refreshing apple cider pairs especially well as a drink.
