Under the shadow of Selinunte
The Castelvetrano Olives come from Sicily, in the province of Trapani, a stretch of green land just a few kilometres from the sea, where the temples of Selinunte have protected them for over 2600 years.
Harvesting takes place in late September, before they are ripe, when the flesh is crunchy and the fruits are bright green.
Round in shape with firm flesh, the fresh Castelvetrano Olives are characterised by a sweet flavour and a mild savoury note.
Serving suggestion
With their unique and fruity flavour, Castelvetrano Olives are fresh, ideal for enjoying simply as they are as a snack or in the preparation of starters formed of cheese and cured meat.
They are also used in green salads and cooking, to flavour fish and white meat main courses, or in traditional vegetable side dishes from Sicily.
