Stuffed Sardinian Artichokes in Oil – Campus
The creation of stuffed artichokes by Campus Conserve represents one of the greatest challenges of the traditional preserving craft of Decimoputzu. In this recipe, the Campus family combines the sweetness of artichokes grown in Campidano with a rich filling inspired by the characteristic flavors of regional cuisine.
The production process is based on fresh processing: each artichoke is manually selected according to size and the firmness of its leaves. After meticulous trimming that reveals the heart, the vegetable is prepared to receive the filling. This operation requires great artisanal skill to avoid damaging the natural structure of the vegetable and to ensure that the traditional filling adheres perfectly to the inner walls of the artichoke.
The artichokes are preserved in a blend of 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil and sunflower oil, which acts as a protective layer, preserving the fragrance of the ingredients. The use of lemon juice and wine vinegar maintains a perfect balance between the vegetable notes and the savory flavor of the filling, without the use of preservatives or synthetic additives. Visually, the product has an impressive appearance, with intact, light-colored hearts that reveal the care devoted to the manual packing process.
In the kitchen, Stuffed Sardinian Artichokes are the undisputed stars. Their rich structure makes them ideal for serving whole as part of a gourmet appetizer, where the complexity of their flavors requires no additional seasoning. They are excellent with cold meats or as the centerpiece of a platter of Sardinian specialties, offering a combination of textures ranging from the softness of the filling to the crunchiness of the artichoke, in a constant tribute to authentic Sardinia.
