There is a complete world of artichokes, but if there is one variety that stands out above the others, this is the Tudela artichoke. This type of artichoke is characterised by a rounder shape, a central hole and the absence of pappus inside, which make it a very tender, top quality food, turning it into one of the most popular and well-known green vegetables.
The Tudela artichoke holds the Protected Geographical Indication Certificate (PGI), one of the most demanding and internationally recognised denomination acknowledgements of quality products, including its production in the Ribera de Navarra region.
The artichoke season takes place between Octoer and June, varying in terms of the weather conditions, but now is the best moment to enjoy them. At Alex & Soler we have Tudela artichokes from the Navarra region, where, in the growing season, all the necessary regulations are met (Blanca de Navarra, irrigation, hand harvesting) to guarantee the top quality of the product and in this way, meet the our clients’ requirements, who need top quality for the success of their businesses.
The popularity of the artichoke is due to its great health benefits:“they are rich in fibre, minerals and trace elements; hepatoprotective, antioxidant, stimulating for the intestine, digestive and choleretic, causing the production of bile” (Nuñez-Torrón).
