Local artichokes in oil

My mother, Giuliana, has always made artichokes in oil! One day, a customer of ours encouraged us to make artichokes in oil to sell. Before then, we only made artichokes for family use. Since then, we’ve always made them using the same homemade recipes, with the same love that Giuliana taught us.
Some interesting facts about the artichoke: it’s a bud, not a fruit! If we don’t pick it, it turns into a beautiful blue flower. It’s a very ancient crop that was introduced to Italy by the Spanish in the late 13th century. The artichoke is rich in iron and protects the liver and kidneys. It contains minerals such as calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and insulin. It fights bad cholesterol. – Stefania Calugi.
