The Old-World, Rustic Taste of Sicily Mantova Pitted Castelvetrano Olives are all-natural, non-GMO, high-quality Castelvetrano olives, also known as Nocellara del Belice olives, cultivated and hand-picked from the sunny, arid olive groves of the Valle del Belice of Sicily, Italy — a region celebrated for its unique, exquisite olive varietals. In a freshly preserved in a mild brine, our Castelvetrano Olives come already pitted and are ready-to-eat. With a buttery, mildly delicate flavor with a floral undertone, their firm, meaty texture and vibrantly green hue make them a tasty snack. Use them to complement cured meats, fresh cheeses, and dried fruits, and make charcuterie boards, antipasto platters, and apertivi.
