Origin: black olives processed in Avola
The Sicilian-style punctured black olives come from Sicilian olive groves located in Avola, a region that has long been renowned for its excellence in olive production.
Environmental conditions favour:
- natural ripening of the olives
- development of intense flavours
- flesh quality
- intensity of flavour
The choice of raw materials is crucial to producing a final product that is authentic and full of character.
Traditional processing: drying and salting
The Sicilian-style punctured black olives owe their name and distinctive character to the way they are prepared.
After harvesting, the olives are:

This method allows you to:
- reduce the moisture content of the fruit
- intensify the flavour
- achieve a firmer consistency
- preserve the natural features
