Artichoke Spaccatella - 230g Jar - Sicilian Split Artichoke Hearts in Oil

Discover the rustic elegance of Lifeitaly Artichoke Spaccatella, a traditional Sicilian preparation where the finest artichoke hearts are "split" (spaccatelli) by hand. This specific cut is favored by Italian connoisseurs because it allows the seasoned oil and aromatic herbs to penetrate deep into the tender leaves and the meaty core, ensuring every bite is infused with flavor.

Harvested in the fertile fields of Sicily and processed immediately to lock in freshness, these artichokes maintain a delightful crunch that is often lost in mass-produced varieties. Preserved in a high-quality oil blend with traditional Mediterranean spices, the Lifeitaly Spaccatella is an essential component of a true "Contadino" (farmer’s) lunch. It represents our commitment to preserving the "Traditional Fine Food" methods that have defined Sicilian tables for centuries.
