Details

Impress your guests when serving the perfectly balanced flavor and texture of these Frutto d'Italia style Gaeta olives. Also commonly referred to as Itrana olives, this olive variety gets its name from the small coastal city of Gaeta that is located in the Roman countryside in the Lazio region of central Italy. These Gaeta style olives are harvested in the Puglia region of Southeast Italy. The Mediterranean climate and coastal breezes of this region provide the optimal growing temperatures needed for these olives, where they are left on the tree to ripen to a dark pink color until they're harvested in late March. Packed without preservatives in a mild brine, these small, oval-shaped Gaeta style olives feature a fruity, smoky, and slightly salty flavor with a delicate, meaty texture.

Their delicious flavor and premium appearance make them perfect for displaying on a charcuterie board alongside aged goudas and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheeses, as well as pairing with Beaujolais and Cotes du Jura wines. A well-known ingredient in Italian dishes, they also make a perfect accompaniment to salads, fish, and pasta dishes and can be used interchangeably with Kalamata olives in your recipes. For added convenience, the olives come in a bulk 4.4 lb. resealable pail that is easy to transport and store. For best results, refrigerate after opening.
