Unico Pitted Ripe Olives for Everyday Cooking
Unico Pitted Ripe Olives are mild California-style black olives, canned whole with the pit removed for everyday convenience. Gentler than green or Kalamata olives, they are the all-purpose choice for topping pizza, tossing into salads, or snacking straight from the can. Within Unico's ripe-olive range they are the whole, pitted format, distinct from the whole unpitted olives and the sliced version for scattering.
