Olives in
brine are prepared according to an ancient recipe.
After harvesting , which is usually done by hand,
the olives are carefully selected and soaked in
salted water for a length of time which varies from
60 days for the 'Pizz’e carroga' variety, up
to 240 days for the round variety. The 'Pizz’e
carroga' olive of long, gently rounded shape is
particularly loved for its sweet, delicate flavour.
The round
variety has a meaty slightly bitter pulp. In
traditional cooking, olives are served as an
appetiser or side dish or as an ingredient in meat
or fish dishes. |
