Black Gaeta Olives

© Copyright 2009. All rights reserved and enforced

Black Gaeta are black olives made in Italy that can be either dry-cured or brine-cured.

The dry-cured ones are wrinkly, shrivelled and chewy with a mildly sour and salty taste. They are packed in oil with herbs such as rosemary. They are hard to pit.

The brine-cured ones are dark purple and plump.

Either way, Black Gaeta Olives are popular in the Napoli region, and in Lazio.
