Roi pitted Taggiasca olives are first selected and brined, then pitted and jarred in extra virgin olive oil. The Taggiasca is a small olive that contains a high percentage of oil. It is very tasty, bitter, and salty. The salting process gives the fruits more consistency, fragrance, and meatiness. It becomes milder when preserved in oil. Excellent with focaccia, fish, pasta dishes, and game.
