Artichokes for importers, distributors, foodservice and retail
Cynara makes artichoke products and nothing else, in its own factory, with its own laboratory and with product available 365 days a year. This page is for trade buyers: how to work with us, what comes in each format, and where to find the data your team will ask for.

Retail formats
For the shelf, the range is built on glass jars.
| In Brine jar | Net weight | Drained weight | Units/case | Cases/pallet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 212 ml | 190 g | 115 g | 6 | 493 |
| 314 ml | 290 g | 175 g | 12 | 168 |
| 460 ml | 415 g | 250 g | 12 | 96 |
| 580 ml | 535 g | 330 g | 12 | 77 |
| 1,000 ml | 935 g | 540 g | 6 | 96 |
Mini bottoms in the 212 ml jar have their own data, shown on the product sheet.
Seasoned artichokes come in 212 and 460 ml jars. Artichoke Chyps come in a 30 g bag, 16 units to the case and 64 cases to the pallet, and the case doubles as a display box.
Steamed and other ranges
Steamed artichokes appear in both the retail and foodservice catalogs, in a 160 g tray and in a 680 g box holding two 340 g trays. They are chilled, stored between 0 and 4 °C.
Confits and Delights round out the offer. Ask us which formats suit your channel.
Reading a count
A count such as 8/12 or 4/6 is the number of fruits per container. The range depends on the format, so the same label does not mean the same thing in a jar and in a can. Always order from the product sheet.
Spec sheets
Each product has its own sheet, covering ingredients, a nutrition table per 100 g, net and drained weight, units per case, cases per pallet, gross case and pallet weights and, where available, GTIN. You can download it as a PDF from the product page.
