FRATELLI D'AMICO Cerignola Green Olives in Brine, 25.7 oz Jar — Large Sicilian, Mild & Meaty

FRATELLI D'AMICO Cerignola Olives are large, green Sicilian olives preserved in brine, offered in a generous 25.7 oz (730 g) jar for cooking, snacking, and entertaining.

These olives come from Sicily's Cerignola variety, prized for their substantial size, firm texture, and mild, fruit-forward flavor. Packed in brine to preserve freshness and natural taste, the jar delivers an abundant supply suitable for family meals, antipasti plates, salads, and recipes that call for whole, non-pitted olives. The product balances convenience with authentic Italian character, making it easy to introduce Mediterranean flavor to everyday cooking.

How do these olives perform in everyday recipes?

Because they are large and non-pitted, Cerignola olives hold up well when added to warm and cold dishes without disintegrating. Their mild saltiness complements vegetables, cheeses, and proteins without overpowering other ingredients.

• Great sliced or halved in salads and grain bowls for texture and briny lift.
• Add whole to antipasti platters alongside cured meats and cheeses.
• Stir into pasta, stews, or pizza for Mediterranean depth.

What should I know about storage and shelf life after opening?

Once opened, keep the olives submerged in their brine and refrigerate in a sealed container to preserve flavor and texture. Properly stored, they maintain quality for several weeks; always check for off-odors or cloudiness before use.

• Refrigerate immediately after opening in the original jar or an airtight container.
• Ensure olives remain covered by brine to prevent drying and oxidation.
• Use a clean utensil to remove olives to avoid contamination.

Why choose the Cerignola variety from FRATELLI D'AMICO?

Cerignola olives are known for their size and meaty texture, offering a different mouthfeel compared with smaller table olives. FRATELLI D'AMICO sources and preserves these olives to highlight their natural character, making them suitable for both simple snacks and culinary applications.

• Large, meaty olives provide a satisfying bite and visual appeal on platters.
• Brine preservation keeps flavors clear and bright without heavy oiling.
• Non-GMO and sourced from Italy, reflecting a traditional Italian approach.

How can I serve these olives to make the most of their flavor?

Serve chilled or at room temperature depending on the dish; a quick rinse can soften the brine if you prefer milder saltiness. Pair them with robust cheeses, citrusy dressings, or roasted vegetables to highlight their subtle fruitiness.

• Rinse briefly to reduce brine intensity if serving with delicate cheeses.
• Stuff with garlic, almonds, or cheese for an elegant appetizer.
• Toss into warm dishes near the end of cooking to retain texture.
