Artichoke Hearts in Extra Virgin Olive Oil Produced by: Masseria Mirogallo in Basilicata, Italy

##0##

Surprisingly al dente and crunchy to the bite, Mirogallo's Carciofi sott'Olio are peeled by hand to the core, then simply blanched in acidulated salted water and left to marinate in extra virgin olive oil. The pleasant bitterness of the artichoke and the excellent quality of the olive oil will surprise everyone.

Serve as an accompaniment to salumi platters, grilled or boiled meats, or simply with crusty toasts for aperitif and antipasti. Ideal to use in topping pizza, in a salad, or eaten just out of the jar, with a spoon.
