Ristoris artichoke wedges in oil: the classic Italian antipasto, ready to use
The Ristoris artichoke wedges in oil are tender, selected artichoke pieces, processed and preserved in oil to offer the Swiss food service sector a ready-to-use, versatile ingredient with an authentically Mediterranean flavour. Packed in a practical 285 g glass jar and supplied in cartons of 12 pieces, they are the ideal solution for restaurants, pizzerias, bars, delicatessens and catering businesses seeking consistent quality with no preparation time. The Ristoris brand, synonymous with Italian tradition in food service, guarantees carefully selected raw materials and a consistently uniform result on the plate.
Why choose artichokes preserved in oil
Preserving in oil is the method that best showcases the artichoke: it protects the flesh from oxidation, preserves its meaty texture and enhances its delicate, slightly herbaceous flavour. Unlike fresh products, which involve waste, seasonality and lengthy cleaning, Ristoris artichokes in oil arrive already trimmed, cut into wedges and ready to use. This means less work in the kitchen, zero waste and immediate portioning. The oil they are immersed in can also be reused to dress or finish other preparations.
- Ready to use: no cleaning, no pre-cooking.
- Tender, meaty texture that holds up well to plating and short cooking.
- Authentic flavour typical of Italian culinary tradition.
- Consistent yield all year round, independent of fresh-produce seasonality.
The 285 g jar format: practical for retail and for the portion
The 285 g glass jar is a format designed for maximum flexibility. For retail and counter gastronomy, the transparent glass showcases the product and allows direct display, communicating freshness and quality to the end customer. For the professional kitchen, the 285 g format corresponds to a manageable service quantity: you open only what you need, avoid large leftovers and keep portion control. The carton of 12 jars optimises storage and stock rotation, while the glass guarantees protection and zero flavour contamination.

- Boards and aperitifs: stars of mixed boards, buffets and bar and wine-bar offerings.
- Pizzas: one of the most requested toppings, perfect on the "quattro stagioni" or on white-base gourmet pizzas.
- Pasta dishes: to dress pasta, risottos and lasagne, or as a base for quick sauces.
- Mains and sides: paired with white meats, fish, eggs and omelettes.

The product's convenience allows kitchen staff to compose quality dishes in reduced time, maintaining consistent standards even during peak service.
Storage and tips after opening
Before opening, the jar keeps at room temperature, in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and direct light. After opening, it is important to keep the artichokes always covered by their own oil: this protects them from contact with air and preserves flavour and texture. Store the opened jar in the refrigerator at 0–4 °C and consume within a few days. Always use clean utensils when taking out product, avoiding the introduction of water or residues.
