Giant green olives for food service
Ristoris Giant Green Olives are large, meaty whole green olives in brine, packed in a 1,700 ml glass jar with a net weight of 1.6 kg and a drained weight of 1 kg, supplied in a case of 6 jars. With only three ingredients (olives, water, salt) and no declared allergens, they deliver a clean, savoury flavour and a crunchy bite that works from the aperitivo board to the pizza oven. They are designed for the demands of professional kitchens that need consistent calibre and high yield.
What giant green olives are
Giant green olives are table olives harvested at the unripe green stage and cured in brine, which preserves their firm flesh and bright, slightly bitter, savoury taste. Olives have been a pillar of the Mediterranean table since antiquity, and the larger calibres are prized in catering because they plate beautifully, hold their shape and offer an excellent pulp-to-stone ratio. In brine and unpitted, they keep their texture far longer than dressed or pitted formats.
The producer: Ristoris
Ristoris SRL is based in Broni, in the province of Pavia (Lombardy), and specialises in vegetable preserves for the food-service channel, offering more than 30 olive varieties alongside tomatoes, mushrooms, artichokes and gourmet vegetables. Raw materials are selected with a clear preference for Italian origin and processed seasonally from fresh product. Production takes place in plants certified to BRC, IFS and ISO standards with HACCP controls and full supply-chain traceability, the quality framework professional buyers expect.
Sensory profile
The flesh is firm, fleshy and crunchy, with a clean vegetal aroma and a balanced savoury-bitter taste typical of a well-cured green olive. The generous calibre makes each olive substantial on the plate, while the neutral brine keeps the fruit's own character to the fore without overpowering salt or vinegar notes.

Professional uses
Drain and serve at room temperature on antipasti and aperitivo boards alongside cured meats and cheeses. Use as a topping for pizza, focaccia and pinsa, added in the final minutes of baking so the flesh stays firm. Fold into Mediterranean salads, caponata and pasta with capers and tomato, or pair with white fish, chicken and braised meats. Always drain before use; the brine should be discarded, not used as a dressing.
Pairings
These olives match Italian extra virgin olive oil, San Marzano-style tomatoes, capers, taralli and country bread, and stand up well next to robust cheeses and salumi on a sharing board.
Storage and shelf life
Store unopened in a cool, dry place away from direct light and heat; shelf life is up to 24 months when intact. Once opened, keep the olives refrigerated at 0-4 °C submerged in their brine and consume within a few days for best texture and flavour.
