Taggiasca Olives - Pitted
Region: Liguria, Italy
Description: The jewel of northern Italy - the Taggiasca Olive. It is one of the most popular varieties in the north of Italy around Liguria, and is also found in the neighbouring region of Nice in southern France. The variety is also known as the Cailletier. The Nicoise olive is actually the same variety as the Taggiasca / Cailletier. Nicoise refers to the curing method use to prepare those olives. The Taggiasca is harvested when it is a little darker - ranging in colours from brown-green to brown-purple. The variation in colours attests to the purity of this natural product. These olives are also packed in extra virgin olive oil and are pitted. Perfect for using in dishes like pasta, pizza, and salads. When the olives are done, the extra virgin olive oil they were in can be used for other olives, or to season your chicken or roasted potatoes before cooking in the oven.
