Baby Artichokes in Oil Ristoris - Jar 295 g (Case of 12)

Baby Artichokes in Oil Ristoris: the tender heart of the Mediterranean for your professional kitchen

The Baby Artichokes in Oil Ristoris are small whole artichokes, harvested while still tender and immersed in oil to preserve their delicate texture and authentic flavour. Selected for the catering trade, they give the chef a ready-to-use ingredient of consistent quality that is immediate to serve. Each artichoke keeps its characteristically soft heart and crisp outer leaves, a balance that makes them the star of both a refined appetiser and a gourmet pizza.

The Italian preserving tradition of Ristoris guarantees a carefully processed product: the artichokes are trimmed, cooked to the right point and packed in oil to keep their freshness intact. The result is a vegetable with a clean, slightly bitter and vegetal taste, free from the oxidised notes of low-quality products. For the professional kitchen this means less waste, shorter preparation times and a dish that stays the same, service after service.

Jar 295 g format, designed for food service

The 295 g glass jar is the ideal size for medium-sized catering: generous enough to cover several services, yet compact enough to guarantee freshness once opened. The transparent glass lets kitchen staff check the remaining quantity and product condition at a glance. The packaging is organised in a case of 12 units, a convenient logistics solution for managing the stores of restaurants, hotels, canteens and pizzerias.

Uses in the kitchen: appetisers, boards, pizzas and beyond

Versatility is the real strength of artichokes in oil. Ready to use, they eliminate the long cleaning and cooking times of fresh artichokes, freeing up precious time in the kitchen without compromising on quality. Here are the applications most appreciated by chefs:

• Italian appetisers: served as part of a board of oil-preserved vegetables, alongside olives, sun-dried tomatoes and aged cheeses.
• Boards and aperitifs: paired with cured meats and bruschetta, a classic of the Italian aperitivo always in demand among guests.
• Gourmet pizzas: halved and spread over white or red pizzas, they add character and a Mediterranean touch.
• Pasta dishes: ideal for dressing cold pasta, risottos and spelt or grain salads.
• Mains and side dishes: perfect as a side to meat and fish, or inside savoury tarts and quiches.
• Gourmet sandwiches and focaccia: they enrich club sandwiches, piadine and stuffed focaccia.

Thanks to the preserving oil, the artichokes keep their softness and flavour even after being drained, suiting both hot and cold dishes. The chef can also reuse the flavoured oil to season dressings and marinades, reducing waste.

Storage and handling after opening

Before opening, the jar is kept at room temperature in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and direct light. It is good practice always to check the expiry date shown on the packaging and to rotate stock according to the FIFO principle (first in, first out) for efficient store management.

Once the jar is opened, store it in the refrigerator at a temperature between 0 and 4 °C and consume within a few days. It is essential to make sure the artichokes always remain fully covered by the oil: the oil acts as a protective barrier against oxidation and preserves flavour and texture. Always use clean utensils to take out the product, avoiding contamination that would shorten its shelf life.
