Black Olives in Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Farmer Francesco Vastola is the owner of Maida Farm, near the Cilento National Park. He grows the highest quality fruits and vegetables, harvests them at their peak of freshness, and turns them into sott’olio using extra virgin olive oil that he produces himself.

Francesco uses the Leccino black olive cultivar and allows them to fully ripen on the trees. He packs them in EVOO with the pits still inside, helping the olives maintain their natural flavor. Unlike in some conventional versions, there are no artificial preservatives used – Francesco seasons his black olives with white wine vinegar, garlic, salt and chili pepper. The result is a little bit of the signature rich Campania flavor on your table!
