HISTORY
The Ligurian Style table olive was developed over four hundred years ago by the Saint Benedictine monks of the Italian Riviera.
These small brown-black olives have a soft olive skin, firm flesh and the pips are easy to remove. They have a rich, sweet, nutty taste and a very high oil content. A little bigger and meatier than Nicoise olives, Ligurian Style olives have a wonderful full, aromatic flavour.
They are excellent on their own as an aperitif, in a marinade of olive oil, fresh garlic and strips of orange peel, and are a favourite amongst chefs often served in rich sauces to accompany swordfish and tuna.
