Frantoio di Sant'Agata d'Oneglia - Artichoke Paste 90g jar

Run today by Antonio and Paola together with their daughters Cristiana and Serena, the Frantoio di Sant’Agata d’Oneglia has been a Ligurian family business since 1827. Its Taggiasca olive oil is pressed within 24 hours of harvest. Beyond olive oil, the family has long made pastes and creams from olives, artichokes, and anchovies, as well as pesto and preserved vegetables, using its own extra virgin olive oil as the foundation.

This artichoke paste is made from whole, young purple artichoke hearts, the most tender part of the vegetable, which are soaked in hand-pressed extra virgin olive oil and blended into a creamy, all-natural spread. The Frantoio presses the oil at its own mill, so the olive oil and the artichokes come together in a simple recipe with no artificial colors or preservatives.

Mild and gently earthy, the paste captures the sweet, slightly nutty flavor of fresh artichoke hearts, rounded by the fruity richness of extra virgin olive oil. Its texture is soft and creamy, with a delicate, savory character that is smooth, balanced, and refined.
