There are recipes that taste like home: slow cooking and shared tables with no rush. Cardoon with almonds is one of them. A dish deeply rooted in tradition, especially present during the winter months and in family celebrations, where the product itself is the true star.
When we talk about cardoon, we’re not always talking about the same thing. There is one very specific, delicate and exceptional part of this winter vegetable that makes all the difference: the heart of the cardoon. It barely represents 1% of the stalk, yet it contains the very best of the vegetable: an especially tender texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavor.
At El Navarrico, we select precisely that part. Our Black Label Natural Cardoon Hearts come from the Ribera of Navarra, a privileged land for growing top-quality vegetables. They are packed naturally, without artifices, so they reach your table as if freshly cooked, with all their flavor intact.
