Organic olives in brine directly from Cunettone di Salò on Lake Garda: 100% natural and preservative-free
The olives that are brined by Simon Albanese at his Poggioriotto Farm, located in Cunettone di Salò, are natural and preservative-free.
Using the practice of organic farming is not easy. There are rules that must be followed by the entire supply chain and are controlled by a certifying body. Simon uses only 100% natural Organic fertilizers for its soils, which are surrounded by the fantastic scenery of Lake Garda.
These olives are not pitted because, Simon explains, the stone helps keep the texture of the flesh intact.
Recommended pairings:
Our organic pickled olives can be used in a variety of recipes such as olive chicken, olive turkey roll, olive and walnut focaccia, or even paired with tuna with cherry tomatoes.
They are excellent as a condiment, for a pasta or rice with cherry tomatoes, olives and diced cheese (we particularly recommend Formaggella Baby) and topped with organic extra virgin olive oil, or to accompany tasty appetizers.
Interesting facts about olive harvesting on Lake Garda:
The olive harvest is mostly done in autumn/winter. It starts in October and ends in late December.
Simon the owner of the Poggioriotto farm uses the organic practice that only allows the use of natural substances, excluding synthetic chemicals (herbicides, herbicides, pesticides, chemical fertilizers), to protect theecological and natural balance of the surroundingenvironment and human health.
Organic farming is regulated by European and national legislation that guarantees both producers and consumers. In order to bear the label with the indication“Product obtained from organic farming “it is mandatory that the entire supply chain, i.e., all operators involved (olive growers, oil millers, bottlers and traders) be subject to control by a state-recognized body.
