Partanna Pitted Castelvetrano Olives are premium Sicilian olives made from the Nocellara del Belice variety, grown exclusively in southwest Sicily. Known for their bright green color, large size, and naturally mild flavor, Castelvetrano olives are among the most sought-after olives in the world.
Produced by Partanna, a family-run company with over five generations of olive-growing tradition, these olives are harvested early by hand to preserve their vibrant color, delicate texture, and fresh flavor. After harvesting, they are carefully cured and preserved using natural sea salt from Trapani, a coastal area in Sicily known for its historic salt production.
Unlike many olives, Castelvetrano olives are prized for their low bitterness and naturally buttery, slightly sweet flavor, making them especially versatile and approachable.
