{"product_id":"ficacci-black-olives-abruzzese","title":"Ficacci Black Olives Abruzzese, 150g","description":"\u003cp\u003eFicacci Pitted Black Olives Typical Abruzzese Recipe are naturally aged Leccino olives from Abruzzo, dressed in the robust flavours of central Italian cooking: garlic, onion, chilli pepper and basil. The Leccino is one of Italy's most prized olive varieties - small, smooth-skinned and mild when green, but left to ripen to a deep purplish-black they develop a soft, buttery character with a gentle savouriness that carries the bold Abruzzese seasoning beautifully. Ficacci, a three-generation family business based at Castel Madama near Rome, has been preparing Italian table olives using traditional methods since 1964.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are a proper snacking olive, open the lid and eat. They're at their best as part of an antipasti spread alongside cured meats, good cheese and some bread, or served with a glass of something cold before dinner. The garlic, chilli and basil seasoning also makes them an excellent pasta olive: roughly chop and stir through linguine or spaghetti with a little olive oil and some capers for a quick version of a puttanesca, or scatter over a pizza just before it comes out of the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecipes to try using this ingredient:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/somersetfoodie.com\/blogs\/recipes\/pinsa-romana-with-sprouting-broccoli-ricotta-olives\" title=\"Recipe for Pinsa Romana with Sprouting Broccoli, Ricotta and Olives\"\u003ePinsa Romana with Sprouting Broccoli, Ricotta and Olives\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeccino olives from Abruzzo - a cultivar known for its mild, buttery flavour and thin skin, naturally ripened to black and processed using only water and salt, with no artificial treatments\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Abruzzese seasoning is a genuine regional recipe: garlic, onion, chilli pepper and basil, which is exactly the combination a cook in central Italy would reach for - warming, aromatic and slightly punchy\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade by Ficacci, a three-generation family business from Castel Madama near Rome, who have been aging and preparing Italian table olives since Romeo Ficacci first followed local tradition in 1964\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServe straight from the tray as a snacking olive - they are seasoned and ready to eat, so no preparation needed.
