Artichoke and Bottarga Cream - Campus
The Campus Artichoke and Bottarga Cream is produced in the heart of the agricultural basin of Decimoputzu, an area where Campus cultivates and transforms the fruits of Sardinian soil with passion. This product celebrates the region's gastronomic identity, bringing together land and sea in a single jar. The vegetable protagonist is the Sardinian artichoke, harvested by hand at the peak of freshness and processed within a few hours to preserve its crispness and natural organoleptic properties. It is combined with mullet bottarga, known as “Sardinian gold”, whose dried and salted roe provides the cream with a distinctive marine savouriness and a slightly almond-like aftertaste.
The process follows rigorous artisanal standards, with meticulous attention to detail: the artichokes are carefully cleaned and trimmed, then finely chopped and blended with grated bottarga. The chosen binding ingredient is strictly Italian extra virgin olive oil, which not only ensures natural preservation but also enhances the aromatic complexity of both main ingredients. The result is a velvety cream with a bold yet balanced character, in which the mineral sweetness of the artichoke softens the briny intensity of the bottarga, creating a harmonious symphony of flavours that lingers pleasantly on the palate without ever becoming overpowering.
In the kitchen, Artichoke and Bottarga Cream is a precious ally for those who appreciate sophistication without complication. It is delicious simply spread on slices of lightly warmed pane carasau, but reaches its full potential as a sauce for Sardinian fregola or spaghetti alla chitarra, where the warmth of the pasta releases the essential oils of the bottarga. Every stage of production, from cultivation in the company's own fields to final packaging, reflects the transparency and short supply chain values of the Campus family. Choosing this product means supporting sustainable agriculture and rediscovering the authentic taste of a land capable of offering bold combinations deeply rooted in Sardinia's millennia-old history.
