Description

Oil-cured black olives are an essential ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine and various world cuisines, known for their intense flavor and soft texture. These are black olives that have been carefully cured and preserved in oil, a process that gives them a balanced sweetness and greater durability.

This food primarily comes from regions with a Mediterranean climate, such as Spain, Italy, and Greece, although it is also cultivated in some Latin American countries. The curing in oil can be done with different types of oils, with olive oil being the most traditional, which also adds an extra supply of healthy antioxidants.

Oil-cured black olives are rich in monounsaturated fats, which are beneficial for cardiovascular health. They also contain vitamin E, polyphenols, and minerals such as iron and calcium. These nutrients contribute to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Regarding their name in different Spanish-speaking countries, these olives are also known as black olives in oil, marinated black olives, or simply black olives in oil. They are an ideal complement for salads, pizzas, tapas, sauces, and side dishes, adding a tasty and characteristic touch to preparations.
