Termite di Bitetto Olives in Brine – Puglian Olive Mela

Termite di Bitetto olives in brine are among the most popular Puglian olives, appreciated for their soft, fleshy pulp and balanced flavour. They come from the heart of Puglia’s olive groves in the Bari area and are hand-picked between October and November, according to tradition.

This variety is also known as “oliva mela” (apple olive) because of its large, rounded shape. Another distinctive feature is how easily the flesh separates from the stone, making these olives perfect both for eating on their own and for use in cooking.

After harvesting, the olives are left in natural brine for 6 months, a slow process that removes their bitterness without altering their flavour. The result is a 100% natural product with no artificial preservatives, simple and genuine, with a delicate flavour that is pleasantly balanced between sweet and slightly tangy.

Puglian olive mela are ideal for aperitifs and for enriching appetisers, salads, focaccia and traditional Puglian dishes. They are also a must-try fried or in the classic recipe for stewed salt cod.
