📖 The short story of Calico
Artichokes are not new, but the Calico is a bit like the natural evolution of our terroir. Historically, in our markets, we swore by the Camus or the large Macao. But market gardeners needed a plant that could better withstand current climate changes, without sacrificing taste.
That's how the Calico established itself. It's a very rustic variety, robust in the field, which requires fewer interventions. The real bonus for us in the kitchen? This rusticity gives it an incredible density: the leaves have a real bite and the heart is incredibly full.
