First artichoke flower in EVOO

The very first bud of the artichoke is larger, more tender and has no strings.

The artichoke from Vega Baja (Southeast of Spain) is a seasonal vegetable with a very peculiar harvesting period. Our knowledge of the countryside, and our collaboration agreement with farmers, enables us to choose the very best artichokes. We harvest the first buds of the artichoke plant, cook them in the processing plants for several hours, and add extra virgin olive oil to obtain a partially preserved product.

At Caprichos del Paladar we process artichokes in a traditional way, peeling them by hand, leaving the stem and selecting the best buds to obtain the very best products.
