A little taste of our family’s hometown ❤️

Olive Ascolane are a specialty of Ascoli Piceno, a true Italian classic.

Lightly fried Sicilian green olives stuffed with beef chicken and pork, hands down one of our favourite antipasti. Pair them with a Pecorino from Velenosi Vini and you’ve got a match made in heaven. IYKYK 🤌🫒🍷
