About Pitted olives

Pitted olives are a staple ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, celebrated for their rich flavor and versatility. These small, oval fruits are harvested from olive trees, cured to reduce bitterness, and have their pits removed for convenience in cooking and snacking. Pitted olives are available in a variety of types, including green and black olives, each offering distinct tastes ranging from mild to robust. They are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, which support heart health and provide a satiating energy source. Additionally, they contain vitamin E, iron, and antioxidants that may promote cellular health. However, olives are often preserved in brine or oil, making them high in sodium, which should be consumed in moderation. Popular in salads, tapenades, and pastas, pitted olives are a flavorful addition to many recipes, embodying the essence of Mediterranean culinary tradition while offering a balance of health benefits and indulgence.
