Black olives in balsamic vinegar

Black olives in balsamic vinegar are a delicious seasoned version of the classic "passuluna" olives, in Sicilian language meanings "dried olives". The name comes from the fact that the olives, once harvested, are "dried" simply by sprinkling them with dry salt. Unlike green olives, in fact, they are not preserved in brine. For this type of olives, the harvest is later and the maturation is completed on the tree. Once harvested and immediately dried, they are baked with extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar and a sugary note made from sugar and honey, to give the sweet and sour note, and a little orange zest. They are exceptional with homemade bread, to serve as an appetizer or to accompany delicious aperitifs together with our cured meats and cheeses.
