Description

Vantia Roman Artichoke Hearts are delicious artichokes with long stems boasting bright and tangy flavors. Preserved in sunflower oil, vinegar, and spices such as oregano, red hot pepper, parsley, and black pepper, each artichoke has a distinct spicy flavor.

Artichokes are the buds of a flower, thistle, with leaves hiding its fuzzy center. On top of the center sits a meaty piece, referred to as the heart, one of the edible parts of the artichoke flower. With their unforgettable, unique herbaceous flavor and sweet notes, artichokes are highly-prized vegetables in Italy. One of the famous Italian appetizers is Roman-style artichokes, prepared by gently destemming the flowers, scooping out the inedible center, and stuffing with garlic, parsley, and mint! You can discover all the delicious concoctions made using Italian artichokes in our carefully curated collection!

Vantia is a private label brand launched by Musco Food Corp in the 1980s as a line specializing in the production of premium quality Italian salumi and cheese. Even though the Musco Food Corp, officially established in New York in 1926, was operating from the US, through their close relationships with producers throughout Italy, they managed to develop an extensive portfolio of authentic products from spreads and Italian desserts to Italian vegetables and vinegar, many of which can be found in our online Italian grocery store!
