Description
Organic white artichoke sauce, creamy and tomato-free.
This is a white sauce, made without tomato. Fresh organic artichokes are cleaned and kept in water and lemon to stop them darkening, then cut and added to a base of onion and garlic in organic extra virgin olive oil. During cooking part of the sauce is blended, so the texture is creamy with pieces of artichoke left whole. The sauce is jarred and pasteurised. The declared ingredients are organic artichokes, organic extra virgin olive oil, organic onion, organic parsley, organic garlic and salt. The colour is a light grey-green, and the taste is delicate, with the full aroma of artichoke.
For restaurants and chefs. Artichoke sauce gives the menu a white pasta option that is entirely plant-based. According to the producer, one jar dresses about 250 g of pasta, two to three portions: add it to the drained pasta and toss in the pan for one or two minutes. It suits ribbons such as tagliatelle and pappardelle, short pasta and risotto, finished with lemon zest and grated cheese, or kept as it is for a vegan dish. Spread on crostini it doubles as a warm starter, and it can bind a baked pasta with béchamel.
For specialty and Italian stores. A tomato-free pasta sauce is still rare on the shelf, and artichoke is a vegetable many customers associate with Italian cooking. That combination makes the jar a discovery item with a clear argument: organic artichokes, a creamy texture and a vegan recipe. Sell it next to egg pasta or in a gift box with olive oil. It keeps 36 months from production, so a slower start carries no stock risk.
