"Scaciati" means Crushed. The taste is Unforgettable.
In the culinary dialect of Sicily, "Scaciati" (pronounced ska-cha-tee) translates simply to "crushed" or "smashed." But for our family, it represents much more than a translation—it is a time-honored ritual that transforms a humble green olive into a buttery, flavorful masterpiece.
Unlike standard machinery-pitted olives found on supermarket shelves, our Olives Scaciati are prepared by hand using the traditional method. We gently crack each olive, breaking the skin and flesh while keeping the pit intact. This crucial step is the secret to their incredible texture and flavor absorbtion.
By cracking the olive, we allow the curing brine and our secret marinade to penetrate deep into the meat of the fruit. This not only cures the fruit more evenly but infuses every single bite with our signature blend of spices.
Once cracked, our olives undergo a patient curing process to remove natural bitterness. Then comes the magic: the marinade.
We dress our olives in a vibrant, aromatic bath of fresh celery, crisp garlic, and wild oregano. The result is a flavor profile that is distinctively Sicilian: savory, bright, and deeply satisfying. The celery adds a fresh crunch that complements the buttery texture of the olive, while the garlic and oregano provide that classic Italian warmth.
These aren't just a garnish; they are a standalone appetizer, a perfect companion to wine and cheese, or the star of your antipasto platter.
