Quartered Artichokes in Oil Special for Pizza Ristoris - Tin 2.5 kg (Case of 6)

Quartered artichokes in oil Ristoris: the professional pizza topping

The Quartered Artichokes in Oil Special for Pizza Ristoris are a vegetable preserve designed specifically for the catering and pizzeria sector. They are artichoke hearts cut into quarters, selected for consistent texture and uniform size, preserved in oil to guarantee tenderness, full flavour and ready use. The "Special for Pizza" designation indicates a preparation studied to withstand oven baking: the quarters keep their shape, do not release excess liquid onto the dough and retain a bold taste even after high-temperature cooking.

Distributed in Switzerland by LAPA for the food service channel, these artichokes are packaged in the practical 2.5 kg tin format, ideal for operations handling large volumes that need a stable, consistent and easy-to-portion product.

Why "in oil" and why "special for pizza"

Preservation in oil is the classic choice for artichokes destined for pizza and gastronomy. The oil protects the product from oxidation, preserves its tenderness and carries the aromas, making the quarters immediately usable without further rehydration or pre-cooking steps. Ristoris' "Special for Pizza" selection is calibrated to the needs of the professional pizza chef:

• Oven hold: the quarters do not fall apart at high temperatures and keep their shape on the pizza.
• Controlled drainage: limited liquid release, to avoid wetting the dough and compromising baking.
• Uniform size: homogeneous quarters that ease distribution on the pizza and ensure a consistent visual result.
• Full taste: bold artichoke flavour that holds up even alongside mozzarella, cured ham and other toppings.

The 2.5 kg tin (3/1, professional drained weight) is the reference format for pizzerias, restaurants, canteens and gastronomy workshops.

How to use quartered artichokes in oil in the kitchen

Versatility is one of this product's strengths. Beyond its main use on pizza, artichoke quarters in oil are used in many preparations of Italian and Mediterranean cuisine:

• Pizza: topping for gourmet pizzas, capricciosa, quattro stagioni and white pizzas with mozzarella and cured ham.
• Starters: component of platters, Italian antipasti, buffets and aperitifs, alone or with other oil-preserved items.
• Side dishes: ready side for meat and fish dishes, served cold or lightly warmed.
• Main courses: seasoning for pasta, risotto, lasagne and savoury pies.
• Sandwiches and focaccia: filling for gourmet sandwiches, focaccia and piadina.

Being ready to use, the quarters speed up service and maintain a consistent quality standard, a decisive advantage during high-volume moments.

Storage and handling after opening

Before opening, the tin should be kept in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and direct light, respecting the expiry date shown on the packaging. After opening, transfer any unused product to a suitable food container, cover the quarters with their preserving oil and store in the refrigerator. Kept covered in oil and refrigerated, the artichokes retain their quality and flavour for a few days. It is good practice to use clean utensils at each serving to avoid contaminating the product.

With the Quartered Artichokes in Oil Special for Pizza Ristoris, distributed by LAPA throughout Switzerland, pizzerias and restaurants have a reliable, consistent and ready-to-use ingredient that enhances every preparation from oven to plate.
