Cipri Italian Zia Rosa’s anciofi

Artichoke & anchovy spread.

Living on the farm in Calabria, artichokes were a special treat. When they were in season in Spring, Rosa’s family would be so excited at the thought of upcoming meals. Rosa’s grandmother created a paste, something that they could use on bread all year round. Calabria, is also a coastal area with an abundance of oily fish in its waters. Anchovies are predominantly caught by the local fisherman and salted and preserved. Mixing the artichokes with anchovies was just an experiment, but ended up being something that Rosa’s family still make 65 years on. Made at Cipri Italian.
