Description
Organic courgettes in oil, with mint, garlic and black pepper.
Freshly picked organic courgettes are washed and trimmed, blanched for about a minute and a half in water, vinegar and salt, then seasoned with garlic and black pepper and covered with organic sunflower oil before pasteurisation. Mint leaves give the preserve its fresh, aromatic note. The declared ingredients are organic courgettes, organic mint, organic sunflower oil, garlic, black pepper, vinegar and salt. In the jar the pieces of courgette, the mint leaves and the garlic slices are clearly visible in the golden oil.
For restaurants and chefs. Courgettes in oil are a light antipasto that needs only draining. Serve them on platters with cured meats and cheeses, on bruschetta, or as a fresh side for white and grilled meats. Chopped into a cold pasta or rice salad, they add flavour and texture in seconds. The mint makes them a good match for lamb and for summer menus.
For specialty and Italian stores. Courgettes are less common than aubergines or artichokes among preserved vegetables, so this jar widens the antipasti range with a lighter option. The mint and the visible pieces in the glass sell the product on sight, and the organic certification supports the price. Suggest it with bread and cheeses for an antipasto basket. A shelf life of 36 months from production makes it safe to stock.
