In oil: the provisions for the winter of Italian peasant culture
Like most of the preserves, even the pickles arise from the need to make the most of all the fruits of the earth and not to waste precious summer foods, although you can also use ingredients from other seasons such as mushrooms or cabbage.
In the past, when agricultural techniques were much less advanced than today, frosts, hailstorms and sudden atmospheric phenomena often ruined entire crops, leaving farming families without food. The pickles were therefore the provisions for the winter, the stocks to be carefully stored to cope with the colder months.
In oil: storage in extra virgin olive oil
The conservation technique in olive oil (strictly extra virgin) is one of the oldest.
The Romans already knew many of the properties of the product, including its ability to preserve food.
With oil, the ingredients are isolated from contact with air and oxygen. preserving its flavor and nutritional power. However, before being immersed in oil (which must cover each element), the foods are cooked, salted or acidified with wine vinegar. In this way, summer vegetables can be preserved and enjoyed in winter as well.
There is a great variety of pickles: practically every vegetable has its equivalent jar in oil.
We therefore find in oil based on peppers, dried tomatoes, courgettes with mint, artichokes of all kinds, aubergines and peppers, accompanied by aromas such as basil, oregano, mint or garlic. Always and only ingredients and aromas of the Italian tradition and the Mediterranean diet!
