Bold, rustic, and full of Southern Italian character, Crispino Olive Schiacciate alla Calabrese embody one of Calabria’s most traditional olive preparations. “Schiacciate” refers to the age-old practice of crushing olives to release their natural oils, aromas, and deeper flavor — a technique that intensifies the olive’s texture and highlights the richness of the region’s agricultural heritage.
Made entirely in Calabria, Italy, these crushed olives are marinated in premium extra virgin olive oil, then infused with fennel seeds, natural garlic, fragrant oregano, and a lively touch of Calabrian chili pepper. The result is a beautifully balanced antipasto: aromatic, herbaceous, mildly spicy, and irresistibly Mediterranean.
Crafted without citric acid, preservatives, dyes, or artificial additives, this antipasto reflects the clean-label philosophy and traditional craftsmanship of Famiglia Crispino, a leading name in Calabrian food culture.
Why It Stands Out
- Made in Calabria, Italy by Famiglia Crispino
- Traditional crushed “schiacciate” olives — enhanced flavor & texture
- Marinated in extra virgin olive oil
- Infused with fennel, garlic, oregano, and Calabrian chili pepper
- Naturally bold, aromatic, and slightly spicy
- No preservatives, no dyes, no citric acid, no artificial additives
- Vegan, gluten-free, allergen-safe
- Clean-label, short ingredient list
- Produced by an award-winning artisan family — Italian Food Awards, First Place
This is a genuine Calabrian olive preparation — vibrant, rustic, and deeply rooted in regional tradition.
Why This Product Is Rare in the U.S. Market
Authentic olive schiacciate are difficult to find outside Southern Italy because they require:
- fresh local olives
- traditional crushing methods
- immediate preservation in EVOO
- natural herb and spice blends
- no acidity correctors
Most “marinated olives” in the U.S. are:
- industrially processed
- preserved in seed oils
- flavored with artificial extracts
- acidified with citric acid
- produced outside Italy
Crispino Olive Schiacciate alla Calabrese offer the true regional experience, making this one of the most authentic Calabrian olive antipasti available in the American market.
How to Enjoy
