Olive Schiacciate
Also known as Cracked Olives or “scacciati” in dialect. These olives are very popular in Italy, especially in the South. They are cracked olives in brine. The hint of vinegar in the brine gives them a little extra kick, without making them “spicy”. They are very similar to the ones you find at the market, with the addition of giardiniera (mixed pickled vegetables). They make an amazing appetiser and they are perfect to serve as an aperitivo with a nice cold glass of white wine!
