Celline olives with myrtle: the Apulian olives that smell of the Mediterranean

Delicious, small, black as ink, doughy and fleshy to the right degree, Celline olives are ready to triumph on your table. It is the flavor of Puglia that we like, the one that reminds us of walks by the sea, where the Mediterranean scrub gives the landscape a pleasantly relaxing atmosphere, releasing a unique symphony of scents and fragrances into the air. These La Terra di Puglia branded olives are designed to accompany you to the seaside with us. Olives, myrtle and the desire to dream. What else do we need? 

They are the typical olives of Salento. As with Leccine olives, these are harvested in November and left to lose their bitterness and ripen for six months in water and salt. They are finally potted in natural water and salt. Their typical use is as a condiment or enrichment for cooked vegetables, in particular "cicorine" and "paparine", i.e. wild vegetables that grow spontaneously throughout the province of Lecce and beyond. Alone. Wild vegetables are usually blanched, dipped in cold water and then sautéed with chilli pepper, spring onion and olives, with a sprinkling of cheese to finish everything. In any case, you can use these olives as you see fit, also to give life to a chicken Cacciatore or other recipe.

Again, try preparing a pasta with black olives or a sauce with black olives: your guests will go crazy for it!
