Crispino Monacala Black Olives are an Italian antipasto prepared with black olives, extra virgin olive oil, chilli pepper, garlic and oregano. The combination of savoury olives, aromatic herbs and chilli makes them a flavourful addition to antipasti platters and Mediterranean-style dishes.

Made in Calabria, southern Italy, using olives sourced from Italy, these olive alla Monacala are seasoned in a distinctly southern Italian style. The recipe brings together the richness of extra virgin olive oil with garlic, oregano and the spicy character of chilli peppers.

Ready to serve from the jar, these olives contain no added colourings and are suitable for vegans and are gluten-free.

How to Enjoy

Serve as part of an Italian antipasti platter alongside cheeses, cured meats, sun-dried tomatoes and crusty bread. They also make a savoury accompaniment to focaccia or bruschetta.

For cooking, add them to tomato pasta sauces, Mediterranean-style salads or roasted vegetable dishes. They also pair well with baked fish, pizza and slow-cooked tomato dishes. Remove the stones before adding them to recipes if the olives are not already pitted.
