MIX OF BLACK AND GREEN NATURAL  OLIVES 

Natural green olives are one of the traditional preserves that must present 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. Worked 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.

Giarraffa variety olives are characterized by their purplish color and are covered with numerous lenticels. They have a symmetrical shape, and a very low oil yield, furthermore they are characterized by the easy detachment of the octopus from the stone
