The most commonly grown olives
The Leccino Olives, one of the most widespread varieties, are highly appreciated for their delicate flavour. Originally from Central Italy, mention of them has been found from the Middle Ages. They are also pleasant when eaten as is, but even in ancient times were often seasoned with preparations containing chilli pepper.
Serving suggestion
Seasoned Pitted Organic Leccino Olives, with a spiced and aromatic flavour, are excellent for preparing nibbles or starters paired with aged cheeses and cured meats. They can also be used to flavour meat and fish recipes, salads, pizza and focaccia.
