Many tasty and crunchy artichokes in the best Apulian extra virgin olive oil and a light aroma of rosemary, ready to appear on your table, accompanying grilled, fish dishes, or as a simple and light side dish in full Apulian style.
Small, tender and appetizing, these artichokes are an
autochthon variety named “brindisino”. The cultivation starts
in the beginning of October and the picking in April. The fresh
artichokes end their working process within eight hours of
being picked. This kind of artichoke is very tender. We remove
the leaves and we turn it by hand with a small knife. Then it is
scalded and is put in extra-fine-olive-oil. No other ingredients
or spices are added in order to valorize the unique taste of this
product.

Capers are typical of the Salento landscape and of the country
tradition. During all the ‘900 whole families got up very early

the town of Racale was a leader in the production of capers.

washed, selected, cut into slice with all the peel, salted and
