Roland Foods Roman Style Artichoke Hearts with Stalks, Specialty Imported Food, 5 Pound 8.2 Ounce Can, Pack of 1

Headline says it all, these are fantastic.

My family loved these artichokes happy to have found them here

The stems on these are very long and tender, the artichokes are full and round. On a buffet table your guests will be drawn to these, chances are good they have never seen artichokes look this way. I took out some of them to make an artichoke tart that called for frozen artichokes which I didn't have, so I substituted some of these to sautee up with sliced onion and seasonings...red pepper flakes, parsley, oregano, etc.. I drained them first from their oil bc they're packed in sunflower oil which is bland, then I added some of my good EVOO to the sautee. Just plain on a buffet I'd do the same, drain and dry them a bit; then add your own good EVOO. Sprinkle with parsley and serve as is. They don't taste as overly marinated as the ones in the small jars. I like these better.

at first, i thought oh my goodness what am i going to do with 5 pounds? no problem .. they are wonderful alone, as a side, as an entree stuffed, and so many more ideas. they are tender, not overly salty or vinegary. they are beautiful on the plate as they have the long stem and inner bulb of the artichoke. nothing negative to say. just buy and enjoy.

Very salty! Much too salty to enjoy on their own. These could possibly be used in a salad or a dip that would allow other ingredients to cut the salt, but then it wouldn't make sense to pay the extra money for the artichoke with stem.Also the package says serving size is 2 artichokes, and there are 22 servings in the can. By my calculations that's 44 artichokes, but there were only 24 in the can.

This type of Artichoke is one of the wasy they serve them in Rome the heart and stem, if you buy them in an Italian Dele. you'll pay three times for them. Open can take out what you want to eat, pour some extra V. Olive oil a bit a parsley and a little garlic power and enjoy. The rest, seal in a jar for the next time. You may also make them Jewish style dry them off and deep fry until crisp what a treat.

UPDATE to original review below: When these artichokes are delivered safely and the contents are at their peak, they are fabulous. Even though the artichokes are huge and the 5 pound can hold lots of them, they go fast because they are that good. But I am thinking I may not order these again as the last 2 orders arrived with severely dented cans. Technically, you cannot return these but you may be able to work something out with Amazon through a phone call. The USDA states: “Discard deeply dented cans...a sharp dent on either the top or side seam can damage the seam and allow bacteria to enter the can.” Too risky for us as dangerous bacteria can be inside such a can and it may not be detectable. I wish this issue could be resolved because it can be a great tasting product.Original review: We love artichokes around here but they are not always convenient to prepare fresh, and to use in prepared dishes it’s better to use those in jars or cans. These are just perfect. We use them in chicken and Italian dishes and as a side after a simple sauté. When I first actually saw the size of the can, I thought, oh no, what are we gonna do with all these? It looked like the restaurant version for sure. Well, once we had a taste of their deliciousness and got creative in how to use them, they went fast. We have re-ordered a few times. Even the giant stems are delightful. If you like artichokes, get inventive and try these. There is no comparison to other canned artichokes or marinated versions.

We love the artichoke and eat a couple every day. Full of vitamins and Nutrients. I am not happy that on the cite stated $25+ and then on my check out they were $35+. Please explain such a large increase?
