For our pickled olives we choose the Nocellara variety. We harvest them while they are still very green, before they reach full ripeness, so that they can be preserved as best as possible. We work them with a traditional pickling process, using only water and salt. This process allows a sort of controlled "maturation" of the olive which allows it to maintain all its natural characteristics and flavour. The appearance of these olives is a green color, a strong, intense and spicy taste. Preservation in brine keeps the fragrance and crunchy texture of the olives intact.

Nocellara olives, a native Sicilian variety, are particularly rich in easily digestible fiber which helps to regulate the functioning of the intestinal system. Furthermore, thanks to the presence of Vitamin E, beta-carotene and antioxidants, they help fight free radicals, reduce bad cholesterol and blood pressure, preventing cardiovascular diseases. These olives are preserved in brine without adding any ingredients so as to preserve the original taste of the fresh product.

Our Segreti di Sicilia line of preserves was born from the love for this land and its traditions, from the scents of our childhood, from our grandmother's secrets and from the rediscovery of an authentic and genuine past. Each product speaks of a specific territory, of a biodiversity that the world envies us. We choose each of them from our own crops or from our network, small and local productions and farmers who work the land with the same passion and respect as in the past. These genuine products are then transformed in our modern canning plant with the help of latest generation machinery. We use innovative cooking and preservation techniques that guarantee absolute respect for the original recipe and, at the same time, the preservation of all the organoleptic characteristics of the fresh product and its main nutritional aspects. The absence of preservatives and colorings allows you to taste a genuine product.
