Authentic Peruvian product
In the botija style, olives are typically cured in salt brine, which helps to mellow their bitterness while enhancing their natural flavors. The curing process can also include adding herbs and spices, such as oregano, garlic, and sometimes aji peppers, which infuse the olives with distinctive local flavors. After curing, the olives might be preserved in oil or vinegar to further develop their taste.
Botija olives are widely used in Peruvian cuisine, both as a snack and as an ingredient in various dishes. They are often served as part of an appetizer platter, added to salads, or used in stews and sauces.
