Sliced Black Olives 10kg

Black olives are the ripe fruit of the olive tree (Olea europaea), known for their rich, savory flavor and versatile culinary uses. Unlike green olives, which are harvested before fully ripening, black olives are picked when fully mature and undergo a curing or fermentation process to reduce their natural bitterness. This process can involve methods like brining, dry curing, or lye curing, which help develop their characteristic deep, earthy taste.

The flavor of black olives is typically mild, slightly salty, and sometimes fruity or smoky, depending on the curing method and the variety of olive. Their texture is firm yet tender, and their dark color can range from a rich purple to a deep black, often with a wrinkled skin due to the curing process.

Black olives are commonly used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, enhancing dishes like salads, pastas, tapenade, pizzas, and antipastos. They can also be enjoyed on their own as a snack or appetizer. Rich in healthy fats, antioxidants, and vitamins, black olives provide both flavor and nutritional benefits in a variety of dishes.
