Frozen Egyptian artichoke for chefs, antipasti and ready meals
Egypt is one of the largest artichoke origins in the world and the crop runs from January to May. Our artichokes are trimmed by hand into bottoms, hearts and quarters, then blanched and individually quick frozen, so they keep a creamy colour and a firm, delicate bite. Chefs, caterers, antipasti and ready-meal producers and retail packers buy frozen artichoke because the trimming — the slowest job in any kitchen that handles artichoke — is already done, with no peeling waste and no browning.
