Crushed Olives

Pugliese Olive Schiacciate Sott’Olio Pugliesi represent one of the most popular appetizers in Mediterranean cuisine, thanks to their strong flavor and artisanal processing that enhances their quality. The preparation begins with a careful selection of the best Apulian olives, which are crushed by hand to promote the penetration of aromas and perfect preservation. After being pitted, the olives are immersed in high-quality extra virgin olive oil, which preserves their freshness and also makes them perfect as long-life crushed olives. The addition of dried hot pepper gives a lively and slightly spicy note, making these olives irresistible both as a snack and as a versatile ingredient in the kitchen. The recipe, true to Apulian tradition, does not use artificial preservatives, but only a natural acidity corrector (citric acid) to ensure maximum authenticity of the product.

Sott’Olio Crushed Olives are ideal for enriching aperitifs and appetizers: serve them simply with homemade bread or crostini to enhance their authentic flavor. Also excellent as a side dish for meat or fish dishes, or to give a Mediterranean touch to salads and gourmet pizzas. Thanks to the long shelf life guaranteed by the extra virgin olive oil, you can always have a genuine product full of flavor, ready to turn every occasion into a special moment. They are also perfect for the preparation of traditional recipes such as focaccia barese or pucce salentine, or to enrich pasta dishes and sauces with a rustic and flavorful note.
