Black Olives in Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Cilento by Masseria Maida To face the challenge of a disappearing industry in the Campania region, Francesco Vistola, the owner of Masseria Maida, digged into his family's patrimony of traditional recipes and took advantage of a still unspoiled region of Italy to produce his outstanding preserves. Masseria Maida is located in Campania, near the Cilento National Park and just around the majestic ruins of Paestum. The favorable soil and climate of this region of Italy allow Francesco to grow fruit and vegetables of the highest quality and flavor. A mix of innovation and tradition characterizes Francesco's production: freshly-picked vegetables becomes "sott'olii" when packed in the excellent extra virgin olive oil from Cilento and canned in his modern facility built right next to the farm. Francesco's black olives are of a prized variety from Cilento. Preserved in first grade olive oil, garlic, hot pepper, a touch of wine vinegar and salt are added for extra zest. |
