	Name / Type	Description
	Olives Gigante	Enormous green olives with a tart flavor and crisp, crunchy flesh.  Olives Gigante are harvested in California, cured in the Sicilian style and then infused with the savor of Italian herbs and spices for a perfect launch to an antipasti platter.
	Italian Aglio Green Pitted Olives	Italian Aglio Green Pitted Olives play on their Sicilian curing style to deliver a crisp flesh and tart yet butter flavor.  We marinate these green beauties with robust minced garlic, then pit them for convenient use in salads, pasta dishes, sandwiches or on pizza.
	Extra Large Pitted Calamata	Perfect for salads, pizza or pasta, the calamata has a much-loved smoky flavor and meaty texture, which we complement with Greek herbs to finish these well-balanced olives.  Our Extra Large Seasoned Calamatas are pitted for easy cooking & convenient snacking.
	Gorgonzola Stuffed Olives	We create our Gorgonzola Stuffed Olives from bright green, brine-cured California olives filled with cubes of robust cheese.  The olive delivers its crisp, salty kick and the cheese lingers in the mouth with its pungent, creamy, distinctly blue flavor.  Best savored individually, before the meal or as a unique cheese course.
	Feta Stuffed Olives	Creamy, salty feta cheese fills these crisp, grass-green Sevillano olives.  The resulting contrast of flavor, texture and white-on-green appearance is striking in the bowl and complex but delicious on the tongue - perfect alone or as an unusual additions to salads.
	Mixed Olive Salad	Calamata, Black Greek and green Sevillano olives tossed with a colorful, spicy giardiniera, including banana peppers, jalapenos and cauliflower.  This authentic antipasto goes well with bread sticks or a rustic loaf.
	Fresh Garlic & Pepper Antipasto	When chili peppers reached Italy after the discovery of the New World, they became a beloved part of many regional cuisines.  In Fresh Garlic & Pepper Antipasto, red hot jalapeno pepper chunks are combined with crunchy white garlic cloves marinated to retain their flavor without lingering on the palate.
	Roasted Red Peppers w/Garlic in Oil	Sweet red whole bell peppers, roasted for a hint of smoke and infused in savory garlic and olive oil.
	Mammoth Black Greek Olives	Deep cocoa brown in color, Mammoth Black Greek olives have a semi-soft texture and a tasty, slightly acidic finish that makes them perfect for pairing with garlic, as in tapenade, or eating individually as part of a meze platter or antipasto tray.
	Oil Cured Olives	Of southern Mediterranean origin, our Oil Cured Olives are picked at maximum ripeness for a deep black skin and wrinkled flesh, then cured in layers of salt and packed in olive oil to create a pleasant bitterness and salty finish.  Not for the faint of heart, Oil Cured Olives are a must for fans of intense olive flavor.
	Antipasto Delight	Antipasto Delight is a giardinera-style mix of crispy carrots, cauliflower, sweet red pepper ribbons, celery, pitted green olives and mild pepperoncini.  The pleasantly pickled, very mildly spicy blend is great for a traditional antipasto.
	Artichoke Hearts Qtr & Marinated	Because they demand sunshine and warmth to bring their buds to perfection, the artichoke can't help but speak summer!  We marinate tender, slightly sweet artichoke hearts in herbs, spices, vinegar and oil-perfect alone as an antipasto or as an ingredient in dips and salads.
	Greek Feta Salad	The distinct cuisine of Greece is captured succinctly in our Greek Feta Salad.  We combine bite-sized cubes of crumbly feta cheese with black, green and smoky Calamata olives, then marinate the lot in Greek herbs and spices for a delightful, versatile bowl of flavor, color and texture.  Use on your meze platter, when each ingredient will fill your guests with anticipation of the meal beyond.
	Italian Garlic Mushrooms	Mushrooms are a traditional antipasto and our Italian Garlic Mushrooms will show you why.  We marinate earthy, tender, Italian grown button mushrooms in a garlicky brine with mild, sweet diced red peppers.  The resulting combination is beautiful and balanced in color, texture and flavor.
	Muffaletta Antipasto	A roughly chopped salad of tart, buttery green olives, smoky Calamatas, mild sweet red and yellow peppers and savory garlic, Muffaletta Antipasto makes an easy, savory, appetizer - just spread it on crusty bread.  Or use it for creative cooking - it's a natural omelet filling, pizza topping or sandwich garnish.
	Sun Dried Tomatoes	Naturally sun-kissed, these tender, pliable tomatoes have a savory sweet flavor accented by a light Italian herb marinade.  Their intense savor is welcome in an infinite variety of sauces, tossed with vegetables over pasta, in pretty and flavorful breads, or minced on pizza and focaccia.
	Bella Di Cerignola Mix	A handsome blend of black and green Italian-grown Bella Di Cerignola olives, the Bella Mix delivers plenty of meaty texture and subtle, reserved flavor, making this intensely colored blend a striking and tasty antipasto.
	Jumbo Sicilian Cracked	A glistening green olive grown in California and cured in the Sicillian style, the flesh of our Jumbo Sicillian Cracked olives is broken after harvest to allow the briny curing marinade to penetrate evenly throughout the flesh, resulting in a distinctly buttery, slightly tart flavor.
	Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives	Green hued Sicillian style Sevillano olives from California, stuffed with smooth, heady blue cheese for a crisp bite and creamy finish.
	Garlic Stuffed Olives	Grown in Greece, these plump green olives are packed with whole cloves of garlic for an intense savory flavor.  Enjoy the salty, garlic-hot crunch of these perky olives as appetizers or party snacks.
	Olive Medley	Plum-purple Calamata, Mammoth Black Greek and California Green Olives create a colorful palate of flavors.  For a no-prep appetizer or snacking any time, Olive Medley is a sophisticated solution.
	Cipolline Onions Balsamic	When you select the sweet, broad onions of Emilia-Romagna and infuse them with the complex flavor of balsamic vinegar from the same region, you transform them into a dark, subtle, almost buttery dish.  Our Cipolline Onions Balsamic can be eaten as a warm or cold appetizer, a supportive side dish to roasted meats and winter vegetables or as an unexpected but deserved partner to aged cheeses.
	Peppadew Mild	Round sweet red piquante peppers with a unique flavor both sweet and hot, just right for nibbling or stuffing with cream cheese.
