Ristoris Grilled Eggplant Fillets are grilled aubergine strips preserved in sunflower oil with peppers, aromatic herbs, garlic and wine vinegar. Each 4/4 tin holds 750 g net (450 g drained) and comes in a case of 6. It is a shelf-stable Italian antipasto ready in seconds: drain and serve. Ideal for professional kitchens that want consistent quality and zero preparation time, it is produced and supplied by Ristoris, a Broni (PV) company specialised in HoReCa food service.
What Are Grilled Eggplant Fillets
Eggplant preserved in oil is a classic of Southern Italian home cooking, traditionally prepared in Apulia, Calabria and Sicily at the end of summer to extend the aubergine harvest through the year. In this Ristoris version the aubergines are cut into fillets, grilled to develop a smoky note, then layered in oil with sweet peppers, aromatic plants, spices, garlic and a touch of wine vinegar. The result is a balanced, savoury antipasto that keeps the firm texture of the grilled vegetable.

Sensory Profile
The fillets are tender but hold their shape, with the smoky depth of grilling and the sweetness of the peppers. The oil and aromatic herbs carry garlic and a light acidity from the wine vinegar, giving a rounded Mediterranean flavour. Colour ranges from golden to deep brown on the grilled edges. Best served at room temperature so the aromas open up.

Professional Uses in the Kitchen
Drain before use. Build antipasti boards and aperitivo platters alongside olives, taggiasca olives and grissini. Layer on bruschetta or in gourmet sandwiches and panini. Use as a topping for pizza and focaccia, added after baking to keep the texture. Fold into pasta, warm side dishes, vegetable parmigiana or frittata. One tin of 450 g drained covers roughly 8-10 antipasto portions, keeping food cost and prep time under control.
Pairings
These eggplant fillets pair naturally with extra virgin olive oil drizzled on top, Apulian taggiasca olives, fresh bread, grissini and tarallini. On a board they sit well next to mozzarella or burrata and cured meats. For pizza, combine with fior di latte and a basil leaf added after the oven.
