Do you sell artichoke hearts in glass jars?
Yes — Artichoke from Lio Food in Latakia, Syria, is packed in a 1300 g glass jar, case of 6. It's artichoke bottoms and hearts in glass, a natural product with no added preservatives or colourings, and it's currently our only artichoke format — one size, one case pack.
This page covers that one stocked format, why glass suits this product particularly well, and how to build it into a wider order.
The stocked format
Lio's Artichoke is a single, straightforward listing: whole or halved hearts in a 1300 g glass jar, six jars to a case. There's no tinned alternative or smaller retail size in the current catalogue — if your operation needs a different size, note it in your inquiry and we'll look at what's possible to source, rather than imply a format that isn't actually on the shelf.
It sits in our canned and preserves range alongside other Lio glass-jar lines — tomato paste, crushed red hot pepper and whole truffles — all packed the same way, from the same Latakia house.
Why glass works well for artichoke hearts
Glass lets a buyer or a customer see the product before opening — useful for a delicate item like artichoke hearts, where colour and whole-versus-broken pieces matter to how a dish or a retail shelf presents. It also reseals cleanly, so a kitchen that draws artichoke hearts a few pieces at a time across services doesn't need to decant into a separate container the way an opened tin would require.
For a specialty or fine-foods retail shelf, the glass jar itself does part of the merchandising — the product is visible, which matters more for artichoke hearts than for a commodity ingredient a customer already knows well.
Ordering and pairing
Artichoke hearts build into a mixed inquiry alongside the rest of the canned-preserves range or a broader pantry order — state the case count, and a single written quotation covers the whole request, typically within a business day.
For a Mediterranean or specialty-food retail shelf building a fuller preserved-vegetables facing, artichoke hearts pair naturally with capers and desert truffles from the same house — see capers and desert truffles: two Levantine fine foods worth knowing for that wider specialty-shelf picture, and our canned artichoke hearts guide for foodservice uses beyond retail.
A note on case size for planning
Six 1300 g jars per case is a meaningful amount of product for a single line item, which is worth factoring into a first order if artichoke hearts are new to your shelf or menu — many buyers start with one case alongside better-known lines like olives or capers, gauge how it moves, and reorder with more confidence once they've seen real turnover.
Because the jar is glass and reseals, a partially used jar in a working kitchen holds up reasonably well between uses if refrigerated promptly and kept submerged in its own liquid, similar to the handling routine used for jarred olives.
Related questions
Do you carry artichoke hearts in a tin or a smaller jar size?
Not currently — the 1300 g glass jar, case of 6, is our only stocked format. A different size can be raised in your inquiry for us to check on sourcing.
Are the artichoke hearts whole or in pieces?
The listing covers artichoke bottoms and hearts in glass; specific piece size can be confirmed on your inquiry if it matters for your recipe or presentation.
Can artichoke hearts be added to a mixed pantry order?
Yes — they combine with any other product in the catalogue on one inquiry, quoted and delivered together rather than as a separate purchase.
How should an opened jar be stored?
Refrigerate promptly and keep the hearts submerged in their own liquid, the same handling routine used for jarred olives and other preserved vegetables in glass.
