Description
Leccino olives, cured naturally and pitted.
Small Leccino olives picked by hand and left to ferment to remove the bitterness of oleuropein, then sweetened in salt, flavoured with oregano, pitted and dressed with extra virgin olive oil: 71% olives and 28% oil, with wine vinegar and salt. No preservatives, additives or colourings. The producer warns that a stone may remain.
For restaurants and chefs. Pitted olives save time at the bar and in the kitchen: serve them with aperitivo and cocktails, scatter them on pizza and focaccia, or add them to pasta, rice and fish dishes. With cheese and white focaccia they make a quick antipasto. Remind staff that a stone may occasionally remain.
For specialty and Italian stores. Leccino is a named Puglia variety, a detail that lifts these olives above generic black olives. Pitted and in olive oil, they are ready to serve, a quality that drives repeat sales for aperitivo at home. Pair them with taralli, cheese and a bottle of wine.
