Bitetto Termite Olives

Bitetto Termite Olives in brine are a typical specialty of the Bitetto area in Puglia, renowned for the quality and authenticity of its olive production. This variety of olives, known as Termite di Bitetto, is distinguished by its fleshy flesh and intense, slightly bitter flavor, making them ideal both for direct consumption and for use in cooking. The preparation process involves harvesting them at the right degree of ripeness, followed by a long storage phase in brine, which enhances their flavor and guarantees their freshness. This traditional method allows the organoleptic characteristics of the olives to remain unaltered, offering a natural product without the addition of preservatives, except for an acidity regulator such as citric acid to preserve their quality.

Bitetto Termites are perfect for enriching fresh salads, giving them a Mediterranean touch, or they can be used to fill pizzas, giving them a strong and authentic flavor. They are also an excellent choice as a snack or aperitif, perhaps accompanied by a good glass of local wine. Another popular preparation is fried Bitetto termite olives, crispy and even tastier, ideal for a tasty and original appetizer.
