Seasoned and pitted “Leccine” red olives

The Leccine olives are typical of South Salento. Expert farmers
pick them up from tree by hand-harvesting between October
and November. They bring the olives to our factory where the
process to neutralize their bitter taste starts. They are selected
according to the size, washed and put in water and salt for
about six months. It is a method that requires long time and
hard work but, it is also the best traditional system to produce
excellent results. In the last step, olives are put in extra-fineolive-
oil with spices and hot chili pepper.
Can’t lack in cuisine. They have an excellent taste. For their
versatility they are really suitable to flavor every sort of recipes.
Very good as a snack or an aperitif, appetizing in a green
salad or in a potato-salad. Unfailing in meat cooked after
the pizzaiola manner or in a baked fish. And then… let’s play
upon fantasy!
