I Contadini Leccine Olives in Brine – Hand-Harvested from Puglia, 550g

The Olive of Salento, Preserved the Old Way

In the sun-drenched groves of Salento, Puglia, Leccine olives are hand-harvested at peak ripeness each October and November. Small, smooth, and bursting with a flavor that hints at freshly pressed olive oil, they are then slowly cured in natural brine for six months — no shortcuts, no additives, just time and sea salt doing their work.

What Makes Them Special

• Hand-harvested from Salento, Puglia — one of Italy's finest olive-growing regions
• Slow-cured for ~6 months in natural brine for deep, balanced flavor
• Packed with just water, unrefined sea salt, and lemon juice
• No artificial preservatives or additives
• Delicate aroma reminiscent of fresh extra virgin olive oil

How to Enjoy Them

• Serve on an antipasti or charcuterie board
• Toss into pasta, salads, or grain bowls
• Top pizza or focaccia before baking
• Pair with aged Pecorino and a glass of Primitivo at aperitivo hour
