100% Sicilian Wild Cardoon Paté – Don Calò

The 100% Sicilian Wild Cardoon Paté (Cynara Cardunculus) is a true excellence of the Sicilian gastronomy of the Nebrodi. Produced with native plants of the local soil, the wild cardoon paté is, like the 100% Sicilian wild fennel pesto, rich in healing properties for the body that derive from the same plant.

A powerful liver cleanser, Sicilian wild cardoon has a bitter taste, but is excellent both blanched with olive oil and lemon, or fried in a batter in plenty of oil.

A regular presence in traditional Sicilian holiday menus, especially Christmas, given its seasonality, wild cardoon, when processed as a pâté, is an excellent accompaniment to meat dishes or to original and tasty appetizers.

Tips and pairings:

Flavored with salt and extra virgin olive oil, the 100% Sicilian Wild Cardoon Paté can live up to the most refined palates, even as a special condiment for a plate of spaghetti with a strong Mediterranean flavor.
