Description
Spicy Crushed Olives are a typical delicacy from Southern Italy, carefully cultivated in the sunny region of Puglia. With their intense and bold flavor, these olives are crushed and enriched with a blend of spices and chili peppers, which enhance their fleshy pulp, delivering a balanced and enveloping touch of spiciness.
Culinary Pairings
Spicy Crushed Olives lend themselves to a variety of gastronomic pairings, thanks to their lively and versatile character. Perfect for accompanying appetizers and antipasti, they pair wonderfully with aged cheeses like Pecorino and Caciocavallo, or fresh ones such as Buffalo Mozzarella. Try them with sweet cured meats like Prosciutto di Parma or Capocollo. To enhance their vibrancy, serve them with a full-bodied red wine, such as our Aglianico, which brings out their authentic Mediterranean flavor.
In addition to the cheeses and cured meats mentioned, here are other pairings to try:
Fish: Excellent with grilled blue fish like anchovies or mackerel, or with tuna and salmon tartare, offering a contrast between the freshness of raw fish and the spiciness of the olives.
Bread and Focaccia: Serve them on toasted bread crostini, rustic bruschette, or Puglian focaccia, perhaps with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and sun-dried tomatoes.
White meats: Try them with grilled chicken or turkey to add a bold note to the delicate flavor of white meats.
Grilled vegetables: They pair well with grilled eggplant, zucchini, or peppers, creating a Mediterranean dish rich in intense flavors.
White wines: If you prefer white wine, you can pair them with a Falanghina, Vermentino or Passerina, whose freshness balances the spiciness of the olives.
These pairings highlight the unique and bold taste of spicy crushed olives, making them the stars of both refined and simple dishes.
