Organic Artichokes in Oil

Organic Artichokes, White Wine, and Vinegar – 100% Natural – Family Recipe

The authentic crunchiness of artichokes preserved the way grandma used to: a family recipe passed down from generation to generation.

Natural Artichokes Biofables

Biofavole's Organic Artichokes in Oil are a small masterpiece of Italian peasant preservation: organic artichokes hand-picked from the family gardens of Ortezzano di Fermo, in the rolling hills of the Valdaso valley in the Marche region, preserved in a simple solution of water, organic white wine, organic white wine vinegar, and salt. A family recipe passed down by mother-in-law Maria, guardian of Biofavole's recipes, enhances the artichoke without masking its flavor with fatty oils or invasive aromas. All ingredients are strictly organic, and every stage of the process—from harvesting to preservation to packaging—is carried out by hand by the company's laboratory staff, in full keeping with the brand's artisanal philosophy. The result is a crunchy and delicately flavorful side dish, a preserve that preserves the artichoke's vegetal character intact without masking it with heavy seasonings.
 
 
 

The roots of these Natural Artichokes are deep in tradition

The artichoke has an ancient and noble gastronomic history: native to the Mediterranean basin, it was domesticated in ancient Egypt and classical Greece as "kynara," the "cultivated cardoon" beloved of Pythagoras and Heraclitus. Apicius, in his "De Re Coquinaria" from the 1st century AD, dedicated numerous recipes to the artichoke for preserving it "in vinegar and salt," a fundamental technique for consuming it during the winter months. During the Renaissance, Catherine de' Medici brought it to the French court, making it a symbol of aristocratic cuisine. In the Marche countryside, where the artichoke has been popular since the 16th century, every peasant family had its own recipe for "carciofi sott'aceto" or "al naturale": preserving it in white wine and vinegar was considered the noblest, as it enhanced the crunchy texture of the artichoke heart without altering its flavor. Biofavole inherits this traditional wisdom, translating it into a contemporary organic product that preserves the traditions of Italian grandmothers intact.
 
 
 

Choosing Natural Artichokes means taking care of yourself

Biofavole's Natural Organic Artichokes are a true plant-based superfood with an exceptional nutritional profile, particularly valuable for liver and digestive health. Artichokes are one of the best-known natural sources of cynarin, an active ingredient with extraordinary hepatoprotective, choleretic, and cholagogue properties, scientifically documented to support liver and gallbladder function. They also provide inulin, a natural prebiotic that nourishes the beneficial intestinal microbiota, and an exceptional amount of fiber (2,6 g per 100 g), which promotes intestinal transit. They are rich in potassium, magnesium, plant-based iron, vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate. With only 18 kcal per 100 g, they are gluten-free, vegan, and hypoallergenic (please note the presence of natural sulfites derived from the organic wine and vinegar used). Ideal for those on weight-loss diets, those suffering from digestive or liver problems, athletes looking for healthy and light side dishes, and anyone looking for an authentically artisanal appetizer.
