Bianco Antonio Silvano

In Viddalba, at the northern tip of the province of Sassari, Bianco Antonio Silvano dedicates his fields to the Carciofo Spinoso di Sardegna DOP. The climate of the northwestern island favors a variety whose defense is written in its name: pointed bracts, a tightly closed heart, a profile that oscillates between bitter and sweet without ever turning astringent. The stem, tender and edible, is suitable for both raw consumption and cooking, and reaches maturity maintaining balance and proportion. The denomination to which this crop belongs is among the most protected in Sardinia, distributed across 128 municipalities, and within it, the work of Viddalba represents a piece of the island's agricultural identity rather than an isolated production. Here, the artichoke is not just any vegetable but a territorial crop, measured by seasonal rhythms and the light that the north of the island provides, where the defense of the product coincides with the defense of the landscape that generates it.
