Green Olives

Green olives are a versatile ingredient suitable for multiple uses in the kitchen. They are green because they are harvested before full ripeness, when the fruit has reached the right texture but has not yet developed the dark color typical of mature olives. This stage allows the flesh to remain firm and offers a fresher, slightly bitter flavor.

The selection in brine and trays that we offer includes various types, each with specific taste and texture characteristics: from whole to pitted, up to the giant marinated and stuffed variants. As with all Neri products, green olives are processed according to controlled procedures and defined standards, respecting the fruit’s original properties and the needs of the food sector.

Characteristics of green olives

01

Flavor

The flavor of green olives is bold yet balanced, with a slightly bitter note accompanied by a pleasant acidity, resulting from the brining process. The marinated and stuffed versions offer a more complex aromatic profile, designed to enhance ready dishes or appetizers. Careful processing allows for an authentic and recognizable taste, without masking the natural intensity of the fruit.

02

Size

We offer a diversified range of sizes, including both standard green olives and giant varieties, up to the Bella di Cerignola type. The size is chosen based on the intended use: giant olives are ideal for stuffing and striking presentations, while smaller ones are well suited for everyday use or informal dining settings.

03

Storage

Green olives are preserved in brine or marinade, depending on the type, to maintain freshness and organoleptic properties. Storage in hermetically sealed containers ensures a long shelf life and flexible use, even after opening. Storage conditions and microbiological parameters are continuously monitored to guarantee quality over time.

04

Packaging

Green olive packaging is designed for the food sector, with formats suitable for catering, distribution, and retail. Each package is crafted to ensure convenience, hygiene, and efficient kitchen management. We offer solutions that preserve the product and facilitate its use, with attention to food safety and traceability.

For some varieties of green olives, we also rely on close collaboration with farmers in the Tuscan territory. Thanks to the advice of our agronomists, the crops are managed to respect natural cycles and prevent phytosanitary risks. The plants are monitored at every stage, and the olives are harvested following optimal ripeness criteria. This connection with the territory allows us to enhance every phase of the supply chain, from cultivation to processing.
Green olives are appreciated for their high concentration of nutrients and their distinctive taste, influenced by the degree of ripeness and preservation method. Harvested before full maturity, these olives offer a sweeter flavor compared to black olives and a crunchy texture, ideal both for direct consumption and culinary preparations.

Nutritional benefits of green olives

Rich in monounsaturated fats and vitamin E, green olives support cardiovascular health and provide antioxidant protection. They contain essential minerals such as iron and calcium, fundamental for overall well-being and a balanced diet.

How to use green olives in the kitchen

Thanks to their versatility, green olives lend themselves to many recipes. They are perfect for salads, meat and fish dishes, or as appetizers with cheeses and cured meats. Additionally, their unique flavor enriches sauces and dressings, enhancing the flavors of other ingredients.
Green olives mainly differ in their processing level and size, aspects that influence their use and performance in the kitchen. Pitted olives are suitable for quick preparations such as salads, fillings, and first courses, reducing waste and optimizing operational times. Giant olives are well suited for cold presentations or aperitifs, thanks to their firm flesh and large size. Marinated stuffed giant olives are ideal for buffets or catering, where aesthetics combine with complex flavors. Whole olives, which are more rustic, retain greater intensity and are suitable for side dishes or hot meals. Finally, the Bella di Cerignola variety, known for its large size and thin skin, is preferred for tastings or for counter sales in food stores.
