Characteristics of black olives

01

Flavor

Our black olives stand out for their intense flavor, characterized by complex and slightly bitter notes that reflect the fruit’s natural ripening. The taste is enriched with hints of sweetness, offering a perfect balance that makes them ideal both as a snack and as an ingredient in numerous Mediterranean dishes. This unique flavor results from a processing method that respects the natural essence of the olives.

02

Size

Available in various sizes, Neri’s black olives adapt to different culinary uses, from smaller ones, perfect for salads and appetizers, to larger ones, ideal for more elaborate dishes. The size of the olives is carefully chosen to satisfy every preference, both in terms of flavor and aesthetics. Each olive is a small concentration of taste, perfect for enriching dishes with a bold and authentic note.

03

Storage

To ensure long preservation and maintain the original flavor, black olives must be stored properly. It is recommended to keep them in a cool, dry place and, once the package is opened, to store them in the refrigerator. This helps best preserve the product’s taste and texture, keeping all its organoleptic properties intact. Proper storage is essential to guarantee a consistently fresh and genuine taste experience.

04

Packaging

Neri’s black olives are packaged to preserve their freshness and quality until opened. We use materials and packaging techniques that prevent exposure to air and light, two factors that can negatively affect the taste and properties of the olives. Our packaging maintains the product’s authenticity, ensuring that each olive retains its flavor and texture until consumption.

Black olives are an extremely versatile ingredient in professional kitchens. They can be used whole to enrich appetizers, salads, or cold dishes, or pitted or sliced for hot preparations such as sauces, pizzas, focaccias, or main courses. Marinated and baked versions are suitable for buffets, finger food, or gourmet side dishes, thanks to their aromatic intensity and firm texture. Kalamon olives, with their bold flavor, are particularly appreciated in gastronomic settings that require a distinctive touch. In the kitchen, the use of black olives allows balancing saltiness and texture while optimizing food costs due to the product’s long shelf life and high yield.
Neri black olives stand out for their rounded flavor, with sweet notes, light bitter nuances, and a delicately fruity finish. Depending on the variety and processing method, they may exhibit hints of dried fruit, underbrush, or smoky undertones, as in the case of baked olives. The flesh is firm but not fibrous, with good cooking resilience and a gradual release of aromas. The balance between saltiness and texture makes these olives ideal for enhancing complex preparations or serving on their own. Each batch undergoes quality controls to ensure uniformity and a sensory profile consistent with Neri standards.
All Neri black olives undergo a structured quality control system that begins with raw material selection. Suppliers are chosen based on strict criteria, and each batch is inspected upon arrival for parameters such as size, fruit integrity, and microbiological compliance. During processing, procedures follow standardized protocols with continuous monitoring of brine, temperature, and maturation times. Each finished product is then tested to ensure stability, safety, and uniformity. This approach allows us to provide professionals in the sector with a reliable, consistent, and ready-to-use product suitable for high-turnover environments.
