    Gustiamo Artichoke Hearts in Extra Virgin Olive Oil

    Chosen by
    Zimmern’s house jar, unprompted (“#notanad”): “Artichoke hearts, jarred, from @gustiamo, are heavily represented in my house.” They’re packed in extra-virgin olive oil, wine vinegar, lemon and salt, and he turns the leftover oil into dressings, “especially earthy for hummus … simply superb.”

    Koenig has worked her way through most of the Cucina & Amore line, and this is her favorite: “briny and gorgeously charred,” an “amazing” addition to grain bowls, salads or omelets. Whole hearts in a widely stocked jar.

    Napoleon Marinated Grilled Artichoke Hearts

    Chosen by
    The only 10/10 in Sporked’s test of jarred and canned artichokes: “savory, charred, slightly smoky,” the jar every taster kept going back to. “Any antipasto platter would be lucky to have them.” Mostly sold at Kroger-family and West Coast stores.
