Reggio-style crushed olives in Reggio Calabria

Reggio-style crushed olives are local green olives that are lightly crushed and then seasoned with simple ingredients such as olive oil, chili pepper, garlic, wild fennel, and sometimes vinegar. Crushing allows the brine and aromas to penetrate the flesh, creating an intense and fragrant flavor. The result is a rustic, savory, and slightly spicy appetizer typical of home tables in the province of Reggio Calabria. They are often enjoyed as a snack, alongside rustic bread, or as part of a Calabrian antipasto.
