Salento-style olives

Olives alla Salentina in extra virgin olive oil is a product that embodies the tradition and richness of Mediterranean flavors. This blend includes three native varieties of olives – Leccino, Cellina and Termite di Bitetto – carefully harvested and preserved in a high-quality extra virgin olive oil that enhances their flavor profile and preserves their freshness. The artisanal preparation involves a balanced seasoning with natural ingredients such as dried garlic, oregano, basil and rosemary, as well as a delicate spicy note given by chili powder. Salt, used in moderation, complements the flavor without overpowering the authenticity of the olives. A final touch is given by citric acid, used as an acidity regulator to keep the organoleptic characteristics of the product intact.

These olives are ideal to enrich an aperitif, thanks to their intense and aromatic taste that stimulates the palate. They can be served alone or accompanied by typical cheeses and cured meats, but they also lend themselves to inclusion in creative recipes, such as salads, bruschetta or meat and fish dishes, adding a touch of authenticity and Apulian tradition. The quality of the olives and care in processing ensure a product free of artificial preservatives, which retains all the goodness and authenticity typical of local Salento production. The combination of the Leccino, Cellina and Termite varieties gives a perfect balance between sweetness, savoriness and a slight bitter note, making these olives a true gastronomic gem to be discovered and enjoyed.
