ARTICHOKE

Description

Varieties, areas of production and availability

In Sicily and Apulia we find our best artichoke producers who, with the different varieties available (also with Demeter certification), guarantee the harvest almost all year round.

The varieties we mostly produce are:

• Thema: artichoke with external bracts of an intense violet colour with light green and straw yellow nuances internally, elongated and ending with a short thorn; fleshy and tender; delicate and not very bitter taste.
• Violetto di Sicilia: variety of hybrid artichoke from medium early seed, suitable for the fresh market and export. It forms slightly elongated flower heads forming a tight and closed glass, of an intense violet colour.
• Romanesco: spherical, very compact and slightly flattened; the colour ranges from green to violet and the external bracts have shades of violet. Absence of thorns.
• Opal: with an intense taste, it has a fleshy consistency, an oval shape and a green colour with violet nuances.
