ROMANESQUE ARTICHOKE
It is a globe-shaped artichoke, practically without thorns. As you can easily guess from the name, it is a variety originally from Lazio, but now widely cultivated also in Sardinia and then sold throughout Italy. The Romanesque artichokes produced by our company are characterised by the colour of the leaves, tending to light purple as in the of violet artichoke. It is suitable for all uses and it has a good resistance in cooking.

VIOLET ARTICHOKE
The violet artichoke is characterized by a cylindrical shape and by the presence of short thorns. The name derives from the colour of the leaves (also called bracts, scientific name of the leaves that protect the petals of the flowers) that degrades from the soft violet of the base to an dark green near the thorns, not particularly pronounced. It is a very popular variety throughout the national territory and in particular in central Italy. It is undoubtedly our top artichoke: year after year we have selected the best plants to guarantee a production of the highest level, both in terms of quantity and especially of quality.

ARES ARTICHOKE: NEW
ARES is an absolute novelty of 2018. It is a variety selected in the Vitroplant nursery, that we have chosen and started cultivating just this year. Its characteristics are very similar to those of the Roman artichoke, in terms of form of colour and size. However, Ares has a greater resistance to cold temperatures and it keeps its characteristics intact even in case of snow and frost. Harvest Ares is cultivated a few weeks before the Romanesque, and it is collected equally in advance, between 8 and 15 days before. Pairings Being a variant of the Roman, the uses are very similar: Ares gives the best of itself stew, even whole and stuffed. A little tip: like all artichokes, even Ares should be consumed as fresh as possible. After the harvest, in fact, the outer leaves tend to turn yellow and the taste changes, losing sweetness.

APOLLO ARTICHOKE
It is an early variety of the Roman artichoke, large or medium-sized and high productivity. It has a good resistance to low temperatures, too, but, contrary to other varieties, it ripens even at milder temperatures. It has a globe shape, similar to the Roman, and the leaves form a hollow on the summit. The colour is dark purple, with green streaks when the artichoke is ready to be collected.
