Cultivated in the Mejerda Valley of Tunisia, an historic artichoke-growing region, this puree of fresh artichoke hearts is blended with extra virgin olive oil to create a rich spread that tastes like fresh steamed artichokes. So versatile! Perfect on a grilled baguette or cracker as an appetizer, in salad dressing or on a sandwich, mixed with olive oil for bright sauce for protein, couscous or pasta. Works beautifully on charcuteries plates or in picnic baskets as well! These condiments do not have preservatives. To make them last longer: keep upright, top with olive oil upon opening (can do this every use if desired), and refrigerate.
