Varietal characteristics
The artichoke plant is distinguished by its broad, thorny leaves and its tender, flavourful heart. In the countryside around Alba, artichokes find fertile soil and a favourable climate that promote their natural development. They are cultivated with care and passion, following agricultural traditions handed down through generations, which enhance every stage of the process and guarantee a quality product.
The preparation of our grilled artichokes begins with a careful selection of the best specimens, harvested between March and May, when artichokes are at their peak of freshness and flavour.
After harvesting, the artichokes are cleaned by hand, removing the toughest leaves and thorny tips to obtain only the tender hearts. These are then grilled over charcoal, a slow cooking method that gives them an unmistakable smoky aroma and enriches their flavour.
