Origin: olives grown in Avola
The XXL Sicilian green olives in brine come from orchards located in Avola, in the heart of south-eastern Sicily, a region particularly suited to olive cultivation.
The environmental conditions ensure:
- development of large olives
- firm flesh
- full-bodied and natural flavour
- high-quality fruit
This connection to the local area is reflected in the flavour and texture of the olives, which retain their authentic and distinctive characteristics.
Traditional brining process
The olives are processed using a traditional method of preservation in brine, a technique that keeps the fruit as close as possible to its natural state.

- any flattening (for the flattened version)
- immersion in water and salt
- flavouring with natural ingredients
- ripening time
