The Niçoise olive is a small, typically black olive native to the French region of Provence. They are harvested in late September to October and provide an excellent touch to salads and roasted meat dishes. Taste-wise, they are known for a distinct, rich, and nutty flavor, slightly bitter with a hint of saltiness.
These olives are a great source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, promoting health while adding flavor to your dishes. They are also traditionally used in the famous Salad Niçoise, adding a punch of texture and color, enhancing its appealing presentation and complex flavors.
