Kirkland Signature Artichoke Hearts, 33 Oz (Pack of 2)

have had these before and they are great.

I adore artichokes and prepare fresh ones fairly often, but they are a bit labor intensive. I have, from time to time, tried those little jars of often hyper-seasoned marinated hearts, whose sharper leaves remind you that they're, after all, the flower buds of thistles. I'm a fan of good seasoning but like to taste the product. I never use the cans; they're mushy, tasteless and, for me, bear only a faint reminder they're artichokes. I've several times bought frozen hearts from Peru. They're also expensive but don't have that good flavor of fresh. I realize I'm talking a bit apples and oranges here--fresh and marinated hearts. But when I tasted that first big succulent, slightly firm, bright, seasoned-to-perfection, no-obvious-thistle-present, quarter of a Kirkland marinated artichoke heart right from that brimming jar, I knew I was home (if not a home I'd been to before). I ordered the 66 oz jar, which fortunately arrived as (2) 33oz. These are great right out of the fridge, plain or on a cracker, in any dish in which you've used quartered hearts before, or on pizza. Yesterday I sliced three in half, added them to a little hot nonstick pan, (no additional oil necessary as marinated in oil), reduced temp, added 2 lightly beaten eggs and had some great scrambled eggs with artichoke for breakfast. The seasoned hearts also seasoned the eggs just right. I used 1 grind of pepper at the end.

So I don't know why but I can't find large jars of hearts anywhere here in Colorado. Maybe this is a California delicacy? Either way local Costco didn't carry them either. So here I am. Value is solid. Wanted big jars and there are perfect. Flavor is mild. I think adding pepperonchi s might zip them up. That's my only hit is they could have a bit more zip to them. Truth is these are fine. It's all about me. I will buy again. These arrived super fast too.

Both jar arrived and were expired and one of the jars was opened and leaking. Unable to return due to item being an expendable item.

Yes, I knew the artichokes were in oil. I purposely bought them to empty out the oil, boil the oil with a lot of chili flakes. I then let it cool, return the chili oil back in the jat & let it marinade for about a week. GREAT VEGAN SPICY ARTICHOKES! I took a chance the 3 jars would arrive undamaged. They were packaged very well & all arrived in perfect condition. Seller shipped it fast in secure packaging. Tender artichokes. A very good value for each jar.

Taste good. Arrived better packaged than I have ever seen. Everything was perfect.

artichoke hearts are my latest obsession and i am out to try every brand. tried 5 so far and kirkland is rating the best.

Perfect! Unlike the tendency of other brands, all the hearts are tender. The marinade is flavorful & most importantly—-the jars didn’t leak in transit. I’ve experienced other brands that consistently leak or open during delivery & so I could not eat them. This is not the case with this brand. These are a “keeper” & I’ll continue getting them for sure.
