The Olive of Cerignola in brine has a delicate flavour and meaty flesh but the most striking thing about it is that it is probably the largest in size olive in the world.

Seasoned olives are a tasty side dish that is very popular in Southern Italy - especially in Sicily, Puglia and Calabria - based on green olives seasoned with parsley, chilli pepper, garlic and salt.

"The semi-finished artichokes are selected, desalted, and then immersed in an aqueous solution containing white wine vinegar, salt, citric acid and L-ascorbic acid. Take it out of the solution and let it dry, then put it in a pot with the addition of sunflower seed oil and extra virgin olive oil. Heat stabilization and packaging follow, with a spicy flavor and ideal with meat or as an appetizer."
