Green Olives Antipasto Siciliano - Catanese Style - 300g

CRUSHED GREEN OLIVES SEASONED WITH PICKLED VEGETABLES 

Seasoned green olives, also known as "Alivi scacciati" or "Alivi Cunzati", are part of the traditional preserves that can be found in all Sicilian kitchens.

The olives, Nocellara Etnea variety coming from olive groves on the slopes of Etna, are harvested by hand in the period from mid-September to late October. Processed and crushed on the day of harvesting, the salting and fermentation phase begins immediately. After a period of "maturation in brine", they are selected, desalted and seasoned according to different traditional recipes, in various treats to whet and capture the most demanding palates.

In this Sicilian Appetizer they are seasoned with a delicious pickle of cauliflower, carrot, pepper, celery, celeriac, cucumber, onion and tomato, and with sunflower oil, vinegar, parsley, mint, fennel seeds, black pepper.
