Olives native to Trapani
The Castelvetrano Olives come from 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. These olives are harvested in late September, before they are ripe, when the flesh is crunchy and the fruits are bright green. Round in shape with firm flesh, Castelvetrano Olives are characterised by a sweet flavour with mild saltiness.
Serving suggestion
Castelvetrano Olives, with their unique and fruity flavour, are ideal for enjoying simply as they are, as a snack, or as an accompaniment to cheese and cured meat starters. They are also frequently used in green salads or to flavour fish and white meat main courses, or in traditional vegetable side dishes from Sicily.
