This dressing is complemented with pieces of red pepper, garlic, and a pinch of salt. After maceration, the olives are packaged in 130g jars that retain their freshness and flavor until the moment they are opened. They are gluten-free and suitable for vegan diets. It is recommended to refrigerate the jar once opened and consume within the following days.
